I'm really interested in studying abroad, but as an international student, I'm worried about financing it. Are there certain scholarships that are especially for international students looking to study in other countries?
Certainly, there are scholarships and grants available specifically for international students wanting to study abroad. Here are a few examples:
1. Fulbright Foreign Student Program: This is one of the most well-known international scholarships and is offered by the US government. It's available for graduate students, young professionals, and artists who are non-US citizens to study or conduct research in the US.
2. Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship Program: These scholarships are provided on a 50% grant: 50% loan basis for postgraduates from select developing countries.
3. Rotary Foundation Global Study Grants: These grants are provided by local Rotary Clubs and can be used for graduate-level academic studies abroad.
Consider reaching out to the financial aid offices or global programs departments at your target universities for assistance finding scholarships. They may have additional resources or campus-specific scholarships. You can also use scholarship search platforms like Appily; you can sort by your specific situation (like being an international student).
Also, remember that in many cases, financial aid (if any) that you receive from the institution you're currently enrolled in can be applied to accredited study abroad programs. Check with your university's financial aid office for more details.
Best of luck on your journey to study abroad!
