I'm considering applying to Chatham University and was wondering what types of scholarships are available for international students. Are there any specific ones I should look out for? Any advice from current students would be awesome!
Chatham University provides a number of scholarships for international students, which are awarded based on academic credentials and do not require a separate application. The Global Focus Scholarship covers up to 50% of tuition and is awarded annually, provided students maintain a certain GPA while attending Chatham.
There's also the Presidential Scholarship, a highly competitive award that provides full tuition; prospective students are automatically considered for this scholarship when they apply for admission. Finally, all Chatham University students, including international students, can apply for the Chatham Grant, a need-based award.
Scholarship amounts can vary each year, so it is best to verify this information by reaching out to Chatham's Financial Aid Office or your admissions counselor.
Keep in mind that while the scholarships can significantly reduce the cost of tuition, you should also take into account other expenses like housing, meals, books and supplies, and mandatory health insurance when budgeting for your education.
Also, don't limit your scholarship search to just university-offered scholarships. You can also look for external scholarships or financial aid opportunities created specifically for international students. Websites like Appily can be a good resource for this.
Remember that scholarship deadlines can often be different from admission deadlines, so make sure you're keeping track of these dates. Best of luck with your application!
