I'm currently a high school junior considering studying abroad for college, and I was wondering if anyone has advice on scholarship organizations that help international students. What are some reputable ones that I should look into?
There are several scholarship organizations that provide assistance to international students seeking to study in the United States.
One such organization is the Institute of International Education (IIE), which operates a variety of scholarship programs for international students. They also provide a searchable database of scholarships and fellowships for foreign students.
Another is the American Association of University Women (AAUW). They offer several scholarships, grants, and fellowships for international women pursuing graduate studies in the United States.
The Fulbright Foreign Student Program is another option. It provides grants for graduate students, young professionals, and artists from abroad to study, conduct research, or exercise their talents in the U.S.
There's also the Rotary Peace Fellowship. These scholarships fund either master’s degree or professional certificate programs at one of six Rotary Peace Centers around the world.
You might also want to check Appily's scholarship search engine. Appily's engine is quite comprehensive and allows you to filter scholarships based on your own personal circumstances, study level, and field of study. Please note that while Appily has a lot of good resources, you'll need to do your due diligence to ensure the scholarships you find are legitimate.
Remember, scholarships for international students can be highly competitive, so it's a good idea to start researching and applying as early as possible. Good luck!
