Hey! I'm an international student interested in attending Carroll University, but I'm worried about finances. Does anyone know what scholarships they offer to international students and what the application process looks like? Any personal experiences would be super helpful!
Carroll University does offer several scholarships for international students! The International Student Scholarship, for instance, is a merit-based scholarship available for all international students who apply. The amount you receive will be determined by a review of your academic records, test scores, and any supplemental materials you include in your application. The renewable award ranges from $5,000 - $15,000 per year.
Moreover, the university also offers the Cultural Diversity Scholarship. This one requires a separate application that includes a personal statement where you address how you would contribute to the diversity and inclusive excellence at Carroll. The amount of this scholarship varies, but can be quite significant.
Regarding the application process, both scholarships generally require you to apply to Carroll University first. Once you've been admitted, you will be automatically considered for the International Student Scholarship based on your application materials. But for the Cultural Diversity Scholarship, you would need to complete the additional application.
It's important to note the deadlines for submission. While Carroll has rolling admissions, it's best to apply as early as possible to increase your chances of receiving higher scholarship awards. The specific deadlines for the scholarships are often updated yearly, so it's a good idea to check Carroll's website or reach out to their admissions or financial aid office for the most accurate information.
And remember, while scholarships are a great way to cover costs, also consider additional financial strategies like work-study opportunities, saving plans, and a thoughtful budget. Every little bit counts!
Best of luck in your application process and potential journey at Carroll!
