I'm an international student searching for fully paid scholarships for my undergraduate studies. Does anyone have ideas or experiences with specific programs that are worth checking out?
Several universities in the United States offer fully paid scholarships geared towards international students. Here are some to consider:
1. United World College International Scholar Program at Duke University provides full funding to international students over four years.
2. NYU Abu Dhabi offers the Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Scholarship to international students which cover tuition, room and board, travel expenses, and even study abroad semesters.
3. At Emory University, the Emory Scholars Program and the Oxford Scholars Program both offer full scholarships to both domestic and international applicants.
4. The Knight-Hennessy Scholars program at Stanford University provides full funding for up to three years for international students studying at the graduate level, while Amherst College offers need-based financial aid packages to admitted international students.
Also, there're some non-university specific scholarships. The Aga Khan Foundation's International Scholarship and the Fulbright Foreign Student Program both provide significant funding support for international students.
Lastly, sites like Appily (formerly Cappex) have search engines you can use to look for scholarships that fit your specific situation.
Remember, each program and scholarship has its own application process and eligibility criteria, so be sure to research each one thoroughly. Best of luck in your scholarship search!
