Does anyone know how Elizabeth City State University supports international students financially? I'm exploring my options and curious about the types of scholarships they offer. Are there any particular ones for international students, or should I expect general financial aid?
Elizabeth City State University provides financial assistance for international students, mainly through merit-based scholarships. These scholarships are not specifically designed for international students but are available to all students based on their academic achievements, leadership qualities, and other extracurricular involvements.
The amount and number of these scholarships can vary by year and individual achievement levels. There might be scholarships that cover a percentage of tuition, full scholarships that cover tuition and on-campus residence fees, and some that may even include a monthly stipend.
Additionally, international students may qualify for a non-resident tuition waiver, which reduces out-of-state tuition to in-state tuition levels for qualified students, significantly lowering the cost of attendance.
Keep in mind though, the availability of scholarships and their amounts can change from year to year and they are often quite competitive.
As part of your application process, it's crucial to maintain regular contact with the university's Office of Admissions and the Office of Financial Aid. They can provide current and accurate information regarding the availability of financial assistance for international students.
Lastly, remember to explore external scholarship options as some organizations and foundations provide international student scholarships that you can use at any institution.
But generally, the first step is always to apply for admission because financial aid opportunities are usually interconnected with your application for enrolment. Best of luck!
