I'm thinking about applying to Gallaudet University. Do they provide scholarships specifically for international students? I'd appreciate any info on types of scholarships and application advice.
Gallaudet University offers several scholarship opportunities, and a few are specifically geared towards international students:
1. International Merit Scholarships: These awards are given to new, incoming first-year students and transfer students on the basis of the student's academic performance and contributions to their school and community.
2. The International Internship Scholarship: This award is for international students who have secured internships (either paid or unpaid) in the United States.
Make sure you apply within the deadlines and submit all the required information. The applications are typically evaluated based on your academic performance, your college application essay, and letters of recommendation. Therefore, make sure you have a strong application and articulate your narrative clearly in your essays.
To increase your chances of receiving a scholarship, you could utilize resources like Appily for searching potential scholarships you could apply to. Be open to applying to a variety of scholarships; don’t limit your options to only institutional ones provided by the college.
Still, the most accurate and updated information can be found on the Gallaudet University's official website or by contacting their financial aid office directly. They can provide specific guidance and confirm deadlines given the nature of ongoing changes in university policies. Do keep in mind that while these scholarships can considerably aid in funding your education, you should also consider other avenues of funding, such as external scholarships, work-study opportunities, and federal aid. Good luck with your application process!
