Hi everyone, I'm considering aerospace engineering and am searching for scholarships to help fund my studies as an international student. Are there any specific opportunities I should be aware of to support my education in this field?
Sure, seeking out scholarships for international students in aerospace engineering is a smart move, and you'll be glad to know there are a number of opportunities you can explore.
The Vertical Flight Foundation (VFF) provides scholarships specifically for students pursuing studies in vertical flight and related aerospace engineering disciplines. While the scholarship is open to both domestic and international students, an important stipulation is that you must be enrolled in an accredited program.
Another opportunity to consider is the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) scholarships and awards. AIAA offers a variety of awards to both undergraduate and graduate students pursuing studies in aerospace engineering. It's important to note that while some of these awards are open to international students, others might require U.S. citizenship.
In addition, many universities offer scholarships specifically for international students, so it's worthwhile to check with the financial aid office at the institutions you're interested in attending. Also, see if there are scholarships available specifically for the aerospace engineering department.
One last piece of advice, make sure to check out Appily, which can be a very helpful tool as it allows you to sort and filter scholarships based on different criteria, including major and international student status.
Applying for scholarships can be time-consuming and often competitive, but your diligence in seeking out these opportunities can be very rewarding. Best of luck in your scholarship search!
