I'm aiming to study in the USA but need a scholarship to cover the costs. Does anyone know of any fully funded scholarships for international students? Any specific programs I should look into would be much appreciated.
There are indeed numerous scholarship opportunities for international students wishing to study in the U.S. Here are some programs you should consider:
1. The Fulbright Foreign Student Program: This program offers grants for graduate studies, and it also covers various fields including arts, social sciences, STEM, and many more. It's highly competitive, requiring strong academic performance and leadership potential.
2. The American University's Emerging Global Leader Scholarship: The university offers a full tuition scholarship for one international student who will need a visa to study in the U.S. The scholarship looks for students who are dedicated to positive civic and social change.
3. Joint Japan World Bank Graduate Scholarships: Although specific to students from developing countries who are members of the World Bank, these scholarships can provide full funding for graduate study at participating U.S. universities.
4. The University of Oregon's ICSP Scholarship: This is an opportunity for tuition coverage at the University of Oregon in exchange for cultural service to the university. Students work in areas of cultural exchange and education.
5. Columbia University's Global Scholars Program: This program provides full tuition, room, board, health insurance, and a living stipend to international students in need.
Remember to start your scholarship search and application process early due to the high competition. You'll also want to look for scholarships specific to your field of interest, as there may be potential opportunities not covered in this list. Best of luck!
