I'm an international student exploring options at Calvin University. Can anyone share details about scholarships they offer to international students? It'd be great to know what I might be eligible for before applying.
Calvin University offers several scholarships for international students, which can be a significant help in funding your studies. The three main ones you might want to investigate further are the International Merit Award, the NetVUE Scholarship, and the Homestay Scholarship.
The International Merit Award is a competitive scholarship based on academic performance as well as community or civic involvement. The amount varies but can go up to $20,000 annually and is renewable for up to four years, provided you maintain a satisfactory academic performance.
The NetVUE Scholarship is another opportunity worth considering. This scholarship, funded by NetVUE (Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education), is awarded to international students showing leadership potential and a strong commitment to faith-based vocation. These scholarships are presented to students who will engage in vocational exploration during their time at Calvin.
Then, there's the Homestay Scholarship, which offers international students a chance to live with a local family for their first year. This scholarship covers the cost of room and board for the first year, and it's a great opportunity not just in terms of financial assistance, but for cultural exchange and acclimation to living in the U.S. as well.
The requirements for each scholarship and the application process can vary. For more specific information, you should visit Calvin University's financial aid office page. They have a lot of valuable information available for international students looking to attend Calvin.
