Thinking of applying to SLU as an international student and I'm curious about scholarship possibilities. What specific scholarships are available, and is the application process tough? I'd love to hear from someone with experience.
St. Louis University (SLU) offers several scholarship options for international students—so you're in luck!
First, there's the International Ambassador Scholarship, which is a competitive award for first-year and transfer undergraduate international students. The award amounts range from $5,000 to $20,000 per year, and it's renewable for up to eight semesters, as long as you maintain academic standards set by the university.
Next, there's the Vice President’s Scholarship. This scholarship is only for first-year international students. The award amount is $24,000 per year, and it's also renewable for up to eight semesters.
Moreover, keep in mind that students will be automatically reviewed for each of these scholarships when they submit their admissions application. No separate scholarship application is required, which makes the process less demanding. However, the scholarships are competitive, and the decision is based on a comprehensive review of all the credentials you submit with your application.
In conclusion, while the scholarships are competitive, the fact that you're automatically considered as part of your application process takes a bit of the pressure off. You can focus on putting your best foot forward with your application, rather than worrying about an additional scholarship application.
Remember to check if you meet the eligibility criteria, maintain a good academic record, and make the most of your application essays to showcase how you stand out from the pack. Good luck with your application!
