UGA scholarships for international students – what's available?

I'm an international student interested in UGA and I'm keen to find out about scholarships available for internationals. Does anyone know which ones might be a good fit or any tips on how to apply?

UGA (University of Georgia) offers several scholarship opportunities that international students can apply for. Do bear in mind that financial resources for international students can be limited, so it's advisable to explore as many potential scholarship options as possible.

One significant scholarship to look into is the International Baccalaureate (IB) Scholarship which offers $3,000 per year to non-Georgia resident undergraduates with an IB diploma.

Another notable award is the Charter Scholarship, which is available to out-of-state students who demonstrate strong academic performance. This one awards $1,000-2,000 per year to successful applicants.

Finally, there's also the Classic Scholars Award, which provides out-of-state students with a tuition waiver, meaning they only have to pay in-state tuition rates.

For all these scholarships, students are automatically considered when they apply for admission, so there's no separate application. However, you should strive to make your application as impressive as possible, as these scholarships are competitive.

Also, keep in mind that while these scholarships can provide substantial assistance, they may not cover all your expenses. You should also look into other funding sources like external scholarships, part-time on-campus work, and your own personal resources. Additionally, take note of financial requirements for your student visa, as you need to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses for your time of study.

Always keep an eye on the UGA Financial Aid Office's website for the most updated and comprehensive list of scholarships available.

Good luck with your scholarship search and your application to UGA!
