I'd like to know more about the scholarships available for international students at California State University, Long Beach. Any current students or applicants who can share their experiences?
California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) does offer several scholarship opportunities for international students.
There are several specialized scholarships available through the specific academic colleges within CSULB, such as the College of Engineering or the College of Business. These are typically available to specific majors and have different criteria, deadlines, and award amounts.
It's also worth noting that there are several scholarships that are open to all students, regardless of their residency status, such as the Alumni Association Scholarships or those offered by various academic departments.
Keep in mind that most scholarship applications will require a separate application and some may have specific criteria like a minimum GPA or essay. It's always best to start your search early and to regularly check the CSULB Financial Aid and Scholarships website as well as your college's website for updated information.
Remember that while scholarships can be a great way to help offset tuition costs, they seldom cover the full cost of attendance. Therefore, be prepared to demonstrate proof of additional financial support for your studies when making your visa arrangements.
Good luck with your applications!
