Where can international students find computer science scholarships in the USA?

I'm an international student looking to study computer science in the USA and hoping to find scholarships to help with tuition. What are some of the best scholarship opportunities available for international students in computer science programs stateside?

Here are a few scholarships that international students pursuing computer science might find useful:

1. Microsoft Scholarships: Microsoft offers a handful of scholarships, some of which are open to international students. For example, the annual tuition scholarship portion of the Microsoft Explore Scholarship is designed to cover tuition fees. The scholarships are awarded based on the demonstration of passion for technology, academic excellence, and leadership.

2. Google Scholarships: Google has several scholarships for computer science and related fields and is open for international students. An example is the Generation Google Scholarship which is designed to help aspiring students in the technology field.

3. IEEE Computer Society's Richard E. Merwin Student Scholarship: This awards up to $40,000 to graduate students and undergraduates in their final two years of an electrical or computer engineering, computer science, or a well-defined computer related field of engineering program.

4. Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Scholarships: While primarily for women pursuing accredited bachelor or graduate programs in preparation for careers in engineering, engineering technology and computer science, several scholarships are open to international students studying in the U.S.

5. Palantir Women in Technology Scholarship: This scholarship offers monetary awards to women currently enrolled in or planning to attend a U.S., Canadian or Mexican college/university in the coming year who are active in STEM. While mainly aimed at students studying in the continents, it extends to international students studying there as well.

Remember, many schools offer their own scholarships for international students. Make sure you're thoroughly checking each individual school's financial aid information to assess any opportunities available at specific institutions.

It's also important to remember to pay close attention to application deadlines and requirements for each scholarship. It can be a daunting process, but the payoff can be well worth it. Best of luck!
