I'm planning to apply to Southwest Minnesota State University and wonder what scholarship options are available for international students. How generous are they, and what are the requirements to apply?
Southwest Minnesota State University offers a range of scholarships for international students, with a focus on rewarding academic achievement.
One such scholarship is the SMSU International Mustang Scholarship. The scholarship awards are based on students' academic achievements and range in value depending upon your GPA or ACT/SAT score. Remember that SAT/ACT scores are no longer required but can be beneficial for scholarship purposes. The Awards range from $500 to $1,000 per year (renewable annually) and are available to all new incoming international students.
Additionally, the International Academic Award is granted on a competitive basis to undergraduate international students. The award can knock off up to $2,750 from the out-of-state tuition fee. Eligibility for this scholarship is based on students' high school grades and English proficiency test scores (TOEFL iBT or IELTS).
To maximize your chance of earning these scholarships, make sure your application demonstrates your academic strengths and achievements. Submit any test scores, transcripts, and other materials by SMSU's deadlines to ensure your eligibility for these scholarships.
Please directly contact the school’s financial aid or international student office for current, accurate details about the applications for these scholarships and any additional aid opportunities that might be available to you.
