St Edward's University is on my list, but I'm not sure where to start with their scholarship options for international students. Does anyone know about the process or specific scholarships I should be aware of?
Absolutely! St. Edward's University offers a variety of scholarship opportunities for international students. Here's a brief rundown of some of them:
1. Merit-Based Scholarships: These are automatically considered for international students admitted to the university. The amount can range quite drastically, with the highest awards covering a significant portion of tuition. Factors such as your GPA, standardized test scores, if you have them, and general academic prowess, play a role in determining your eligibility.
2. International Student Scholarships: This is a specific scholarship designed for international students with a notable academic record. The interesting part is, that you don't need to apply separately for this one either - it's part of your admission process.
3. The Moreau Scholarship: This is a full-tuition award provided by St. Edward's. It's incredibly competitive, and only one student enters each year as a Moreau Scholar. It does require a separate application, and certainly a stand-out academic and extracurricular record.
4. Department Scholarships: Some academic departments provide their scholarships, and these might warrant an extra application or an audition, depending on the department. Be sure to research opportunities within your intended major or minor.
Remember to make good use of the college's Financial Aid Office to get more accurate and detailed information. They can guide you through the process step by step and might know about any new scholarships. It's also essential to keep a watch on the deadlines, as many of these scholarships require applications well before the actual college application deadline.
St. Edward's University takes pride in its international community, and these scholarships are a reflection of its commitment to supporting students from around the world. Best of luck with your application!
