Syracuse University scholarships for international students?

I'm thinking about applying to Syracuse University as an international student. Does anyone know what kind of financial support or scholarships they offer? I'm curious about merit-based as well as need-based opportunities.

Syracuse University offers a substantial number of scholarships for incoming first-year students, including international students.

For merit-based scholarships, Syracuse University provides scholarships that range from $5,000 to $30,000 for both domestic and international applicants. They're awarded based on students' high school credentials and standardized test scores, and don't require a separate application.

The university also offers the International Merit Scholarship, intended for international students who show exceptional potential. This scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic merit and does not require a separate application.

Speaking of need-based aid, Syracuse University does offer need-based institutional aid to a limited number of international students each year. However, these funds can be highly competitive due to the number of talented international students who apply to Syracuse University.

When applying, make sure to submit the CSS/Financial Aid Profile by the required deadline to be considered for institutional need-based aid.

Remember, it's also vital to explore resources in your home country, such as private scholarships and government support, which might provide some additional aid for your international study. These sources may provide a significant contribution towards covering your educational costs.

While Syracuse University offers these financial aid opportunities, it's also important to note that their policy is not need-blind for international students, meaning your ability to pay can influence admission decisions. So you should carefully assess whether Syracuse's tuition fees and other expenses are within your budget before applying.
