I'm looking into Belmont University and I'm curious about the scholarship opportunities they offer to international students. What kinds of scholarships are available, and what do I need to do to apply for them?
Belmont University does offer scholarship opportunities for international students. The scholarships available are the Presidential (full tuition), Provost ($10,000 per year), and Faculty ($5,000 per year) scholarships.
Now, how do you apply? These are merit-based scholarships, meaning you are automatically considered when you apply for admission to the university. There's no separate application for these scholarships, and they are awarded based on your academic achievements as demonstrated in your application materials.
For example, for the Presidential Scholarship, Belmont considers factors like grades, rigor of high school curriculum, standardized test scores, if you chose to submit them, and evidence of leadership and service in your community or school.
Keep in mind that Belmont, when considering these scholarships, mainly looks at the academic achievement of students. Although it's difficult to provide a firm cutoff for grades and test scores (if submitted), students who receive these scholarships typically have strong academic records.
Also, remember these scholarships renew each year for four years as long as you maintain a certain GPA. Check the school's website or get in contact with their financial aid office for more specific details on the criteria needed to keep these scholarships.
Scholarship recipients are notified at the time of their acceptance to Belmont. If you are selected for one of these scholarships, it will be made clear in your acceptance letter.
In addition to these scholarships, you should also consider seeking out external scholarships that are open to international students. Just make sure to research the eligibility requirements carefully before you apply. Good luck with your applications!
