I'm trying to compile a list of universities that offer scholarships specifically for international students. Any recommendations or personal experiences would be super helpful to guide my search!
There are quite a number of U.S. universities that offer significant scholarships specifically for international students.
- Harvard University is well-known for its generous financial aid program. Even international students can get fully funded scholarships based on need.
- The University of Minnesota provides the Global Excellence Scholarship to international freshmen and transfer students. This program offers renewable awards of either $10,000 or $25,000 per year.
- Columbia University's Scholarship for Displaced Students covers tuition, housing, and living expenses for up to 30 international students facing displacement.
- Amherst College is another institution that meets 100% of demonstrated need for all admitted students, including international ones, making this a great choice if you have significant financial need.
- Dartmouth College too, offers significant financial aid to international students. It meets full demonstrated need for all admitted students and is need-blind for all applicants, including international ones.
- Vanderbilt University offers a few merit scholarships that are open to international students, such as the Ingram Scholars Program and the Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship.
Remember to check individual university websites for the most accurate and current information about their scholarship offerings. Make sure to take note of the deadlines for these scholarships, as some require you to apply for them well before the regular admission deadline. It's also a good idea to reach out directly to a university's financial aid office if you have any specific questions or need further clarification about their scholarship programs. Best of luck with your search!
