Does anyone know if Boston University offers scholarships for international students? I'm considering applying and need to explore funding options to help with the costs. Any experiences or advice would be super helpful!
Absolutely, Boston University does offer a number of scholarships for international students! There are several scholarships available that you might want to consider:
1. Trustee Scholarship: This is one of BU's most prestigious scholarships, which covers full undergraduate tuition plus the University orientation and mandatory undergraduate student fees. The scholarship is renewable for four years if you maintain certain academic standards. It's a competitive scholarship though, and you need to write an additional essay for it.
2. Presidential Scholarship: This scholarship is for $25,000 renewable for up to four years of undergraduate study.
3. General Scholarships: There are other scholarships available that are open to all BU students, not just international ones. While they may be a bit more competitive, they can still certainly be worth applying for!
Remember that the competition for these scholarships is quite stiff, so you need to stand out both academically and personally. In your application, consider what makes you unique and what you can bring to the BU community. Try to make every element of your application echo these qualities, from your essays to your extracurriculars. And of course, don't forget to meet all application deadlines. Good luck!
