Does anyone have information on scholarships specifically for international students at George Washington University? I'm hoping to apply as an international student and financial aid will be important in my decision.
George Washington University does offer scholarships for international students, specifically through their International Bachelors Program. One of the notable scholarships is the International Student Presidential Scholarship which is a full-tuition award renewable for up to 10 semesters, depending upon the numbers of credits available at the point of first-time enrollment.
Beyond this, George Washington also offers a number of merit-based scholarships to incoming freshmen. These scholarships are open to all students, including international students, but are highly competitive.
Another important aspect to consider would be departmental scholarships. Several GWU departments and colleges also offer scholarships based on your intended major or field of study. It is best to reach out directly to your respective department to inquire about potential scholarship opportunities.
Remember, while these scholarships can considerably help with your expenses, George Washington, like many US universities, asks international students to demonstrate the ability to finance their education prior to enrolling. It's also important to complete the GWU scholarship application which can be found on their website.
As always, ensure you're checking all eligibility requirements and deadlines for any scholarships you plan to apply to. Best of luck with your application!
