I'm planning to pursue a bachelor's degree in the US as an international student. Does anyone know of reliable sources or specific bachelor scholarships for international students? Any tips on the application process would also be greatly appreciated!
Navigating the landscape of college scholarships for international students can indeed be challenging, but several reliable sources can provide useful assistance.
Firstly, the CollegeBoard's International Student's Guide provides a comprehensive list of scholarships and grants for international students. It may be a good starting point.
Secondly, explore scholarship information directly on university websites. Several American universities offer generous scholarships for international students. For example, the University of Oregon's International Cultural Service Program (ICSP) offers tuition-waiver scholarships ranging from partial to full tuition.
Also, consider private international scholarship funds such as the Aga Khan Foundation's International Scholarship Program or those offered by the Rotary International Foundation.
For the application process, remember that deadlines can be much earlier for international students. Start the process as early as you can. Also, proofread your application, and if there's an essay portion, make sure it's thoughtful and compelling. Clear, concise communication will give you an edge.
Finally, apply for as many scholarships you're eligible for. It's a number game, and the more applications you send out, the better your chances of winning a scholarship.
Good luck with your applications!
