Are there scholarships specifically for international students who want to study at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University? It sounds like an exciting place, and I want to know about financial aid options before I start the application process.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University indeed offers scholarships for international students. These scholarships can range from $5,000 to $15,000 per year, depending on academic credentials determined by your GPA and SAT/ACT scores. Keep in mind that these scholarships cannot be combined; you will be awarded the highest one for which you qualify.
Another scholarship to note is the Air Force ROTC scholarship. This scholarship is available for students enrolled in the Air Force ROTC program and might be a valuable resource if you qualify and are interested in a military career.
Additionally, you should check out the "Global Outreach International Scholarship” given in recognition of students who have shown leadership or personal initiative in activities in their school, community, or abroad. The award amounts can also vary.
Remember that international students can also apply for private scholarships outside of Embry-Riddle to help cover costs. Be sure to research grants and scholarships that may be available in your home country or from private organizations in the U.S.
Lastly, international students are also encouraged to explore employment opportunities on the "Student Employment" webpage for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. While employment should never be viewed as a means for paying all expenses, it can provide a source of income for personal expenses during your time at the university.
Before deciding to apply, it would probably be a good idea to contact the international student services or financial aid office at Embry-Riddle for in depth information regarding your specific circumstances. They could guide you to the resources you need to fully understand your financial options as an international student. Good luck on your college journey!
