Can anyone recommend specific scholarships or grants available to international students in the United States? I'm looking to apply soon and would appreciate any suggestions.
Sure, there are indeed several scholarships and grants available specifically for international students who wish to study in the US. I'll provide a few examples:
1. Fulbright Foreign Student Program: This is one of the most prestigious scholarship programs for international students and it supports graduate study in the US for professionals and graduates from around the world.
2. AAUW International Fellowships: The American Association of University Women (AAUW) offers fellowships to women from other countries who wish to pursue graduate or postgraduate study.
3. Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship: This scholarship program supports masters degrees for international students in development-related fields, including in the US.
4. Agnes Scott College's International Scholarships: Agnes Scott College offers a variety of scholarships to international students, ranging from $12,000 to full tuition.
5. ICSP Scholarship at the University of Oregon: This scholarship provides a tuition waiver of $7,500-$30,000 per year for international students who demonstrate financial need and exceptional merit.
6. Colgate University Diversity Scholarship: International students from diverse backgrounds are eligible for a number of scholarships at Colgate University, ranging from tuition to full board.
Remember to confirm the eligibility criteria and application deadlines for each scholarship/grant as these can vary. Moreover, I advise to start applications early and to have a well-prepared portfolio that presents you in the best light possible. Good luck!
