Cal Poly Pomona Scholarship Details for International Students

I'm an international student planning to apply to Cal Poly Pomona. Does anyone have info on scholarships available there for international students? I’m looking for any kind of financial support that might ease the burden of tuition.

Cal Poly Pomona offers a range of scholarships that international students can apply for. Specific to international students, the university offers the "International Student Excellency Scholarship" which awards up to $5000 per academic year and is renewable for up to four years.

In addition to the scholarship specific to international students, there are other scholarships that you might find relevant. For instance, you could search for scholarships within your intended major. Many departments provide scholarships to students, including international ones, based on merit or need.

To enhance your chances of securing financial aid, you should keep the following points in mind. First, ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements for each scholarship you apply for. Second, have your applications in by the deadlines. Lastly, put forth your best effort in crafting compelling essays where required - take the time to share your story and articulate how the scholarship would advance your academic and career goals.

While scholarships can significantly help with costs, remember that as an international student, you must prove you have sufficient funds (including tuition, living expenses, and more) to study in the U.S., not only for visa purposes but also for university admissions considerations.

Remember that the amount of aid available and the specific requirements can vary from year to year, so it's important to regularly check Cal Poly Pomona's website or contact their financial aid office for the most accurate and updated information. Good luck as you navigate this process!
