I'm an international student interested in studying in Texas. Does anyone know of scholarships available for international students at Texan universities or colleges?
There are indeed several scholarship opportunities for international students in Texas. Here is a list of few you might consider:
1. Good Neighbor Scholarship: This scholarship, provided by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, is available to students from countries in the Western hemisphere (excluding Cuba and the U.S.), providing tuition assistance to those attending Texas public universities and colleges.
2. International Education Fee Scholarship (IEFS): Available at the University of Houston, this offers up to $400-$4,000 per year to international students who are enrolled in an undergraduate or postgraduate degree program.
3. Fort Worth Scottish Rite Foundation Scholarships: Open to students attending Texas Christian University, University of Texas at Arlington, or Texas Wesleyan University. It isn't exclusive to international students, but they may apply.
4. The Friends of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology Scholarship: Available at the University of Houston- Downtown, this offers financial aid to international students who are pursuing a degree in Engineering Technology or Computer Science and demonstrate financial need.
Just remember, most of these scholarships require you to be already accepted or enrolled at the university to apply. Moreover, the financial aid office at your target school is a great resource—they can provide further information on scholarships you're eligible for. Don't forget to check if there are alumni sponsorships or scholarships from international organizations in your home country targeted at students going abroad. Good luck with your search!
