Does anyone know the types of scholarships available for international students at California Lutheran University? I'm trying to figure out if it's financially feasible for me to apply there.
California Lutheran University offers several scholarship opportunities that international students are eligible for. Here are some examples:
1. Merit Scholarships: These scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, and they do not require an additional application. The value varies depending on your academic record, with the highest awards given to students with a high level of academic achievement.
2. Transfer Scholarships: If you are transferring from another college or university, you might qualify for a Transfer Scholarship which can go up to $21,000 per year.
3. Music Scholarships: If you are planning to take part in music activities (regardless of your major), you can receive a music scholarship. This requires an audition.
4. Athletic Scholarships: Athletic scholarships are available for students who will be playing sports at the university. These scholarships are competitive and require communication with the athletics department and coaches.
Remember, you must complete the International Student Financial Statement as part of your application to be considered for any need-based financial aid. You should reach out to the university's Financial Aid Office for the most accurate and personalized advice about your situation.
On a general note, it's always a good idea to look for external scholarship opportunities as well, which are offered by various organizations and foundations. These can help supplement the financial aid provided by the university. There are a lot of resources available to help you find these scholarships, such as Appily.
In addition, International Student and Scholar Services at Cal Lutheran provides support and guidance for students in their journey, including help with understanding work opportunities and other financial considerations.
Remember to factor in all costs of attending, including room and board, supplies, and personal expenses, not just tuition, when determining if it's financially feasible for you to attend. Consider reaching out directly to Cal Lutheran's admissions office or financial aid office with your specific situation for the best advice.
