Searching for computer engineering scholarships for international students - any tips?

I'm an international student planning to study computer engineering and need scholarships to manage costs. What are some scholarships specifically for international students in this field, and how can I improve my chances of getting one?

While I don't have an exhaustive list, I can certainly point out some scholarships for international students in the field of computer engineering.

1. Google Lime Scholarship: This scholarship is for students with disabilities who are pursuing, among others, computer engineering degrees. Google offers $10,000 to students in the United States and $5,000 to students in Canada.

2. Microsoft Tuition Scholarships: Microsoft funds scholarships that cover part of education expenses for students studying computer science and related STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) disciplines.

3. Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Scholarships: While these scholarships are primarily aimed at females in engineering fields, international students may apply if they are attending a school accredited by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).

To increase your chances of receiving these scholarships, the first step would be to maintain a strong academic record, since many scholarships take GPA into account during their selection process. If you have the time and resources, you should also get involved with extracurricular activities related to your field of study, which could include coding competitions, relevant internships, or research projects in computer engineering. Such experiences not only show your dedication to the field but could also provide material for your scholarship essays or interviews.

Additionally, you can refer to online resources such as Appily for a more in-depth search tailored to your specific criteria (like your field of study), and make sure to start the application process early to allow yourself enough time to gather all the necessary materials and write persuasive essays. Best of luck with your scholarship search!
