I'm considering applying to Colgate University. Does anyone know what scholarships are open to international students there? I'm curious about how significant the financial support might be.
Colgate University does offer scholarships to international students, which is a great thing about their financial aid policy. The scholarships for international students are similar to those available to domestic students, which means you'll be evaluated based on the same financial need criteria.
The aid can be substantial. International students who demonstrate financial need may be eligible for Colgate's commitment to meet 100% demonstrated financial need. This could include a combination of grants, work-study, and maybe a small amount of loans. Do remember, though, that Colgate is need-aware for international students, which means that your financial need could potentially impact your chances of admission.
Every situation is unique, of course, so it's important to apply for financial aid to see what you might get. I'd recommend using Colgate's Net Price Calculator (https://www.colgate.edu/admission-aid/financial-aid/estimate-your-aid) to estimate your financial aid package if you haven't already.
Furthermore, Colgate also offers the Global Leaders Scholarship for international students, which covers full tuition, room and board, fees, and travel expenses. This is extremely competitive and is based on both need and merit.
I hope this gives you a good idea of the possibilities. Good luck with your application!
