I'm curious if international students are eligible for the Stamps Scholarship and what the criteria are. Is it only for US citizens, or can students from other countries apply for this scholarship too?
The Stamps Scholarship is available at various universities across the United States, and the eligibility requirements can vary depending on the school. Some participating universities do offer the Stamps Scholarship to international students, while others may not. As a result, it's essential that you research the specifications at each particular school you're interested in. In general, the scholarship seeks students who demonstrate high academic merit, leadership potential, and exceptional character.
For example, at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), the Stamps Scholarship is available to international students. Meanwhile, at the University of Georgia, it is only available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Remember that you usually cannot apply to the Stamps Scholarship directly. Rather, you're considered for the Stamps Scholarship when you apply for admission or other scholarships at a school that offers it. Hence, always check the specific guidelines at each university you plan to apply for.
