I'm thinking of enrolling in an online program as an international student. Are there scholarships available to help support internationals who choose to study online?
Absolutely, there are several scholarships available for international students studying online. The great thing about these scholarships is that they are not dependent on your physical location. A few to consider are:
1. Fulbright Foreign Student Program: Although traditionally thought of for in-person courses, they do offer many scholarships for online study as well.
2. Hubert Humphrey Fellowship Program: This non-degree scholarship program allows professionals seeking to study in the U.S. to pursue online academic coursework related to their professional interests.
3. Global Study Awards: Encouraging students to study anywhere, this aid program includes those choosing to study online.
It's important to note, however, that the availability might vary depending on your country of residence and the field of study you're interested in. Each of these scholarships also has its own unique eligibility requirements and application processes.
Lastly, you should check with the particular school you're interested in, as some universities offer their own scholarships specifically for online international students.
Remember, applying for scholarships can be a time-intensive process, but it's definitely worth your time and effort. And don't limit yourself to just the large, renowned scholarships – there are plenty of smaller ones that can collectively add up to a significant sum. Good luck!
