As an international student, I'm curious about the type of scholarships offered by Furman University. Can anyone share details about their availability and any tips for applying?
Furman University does indeed offer scholarships for international students. Many international students at Furman receive some form of financial aid, often in the form of merit-based scholarships. For instance, the Furman Scholars program, which offers an annual scholarship of $20,000, can be open to exceptionally talented international students.
Furman University also provides need-based aid to a limited number of international students each year. You may want to reach out to the Furman Financial Aid office for more detailed information about eligibility and application protocols for this form of aid.
When it comes to application tips, I'd push you towards demonstrating as clearly as possible your academic and extracurricular achievements and potential. Your application—particularly your transcript, letters of recommendation, and essay—should highlight your strengths and what you would bring to Furman’s community. If you apply for need-based aid, be sure to carefully and completely document your financial situation according to the instructions provided by the financial aid office.
Remember the application deadlines and submit everything well before time to avoid last-minute surprises. Good luck!
