Scholarships at UHCL for international students?

I'm looking into UHCL and wondering if there are scholarship opportunities for international students. Any personal experiences or insights on their process and requirements would be greatly appreciated!

Absolutely! The University of Houston-Clear Lake (UHCL) indeed offers several scholarship options for international students. One well-known opportunity is the International Falcon Scholarship, which is strictly for degree-seeking international students.

Here's a snapshot of the application process and requirements:

- You need to have applied and been accepted for admissions to UHCL - the scholarship application requires a UHCL ID number.

- The criteria for the International Falcon Scholarship are both merit-based and need-based.

- For merit-based consideration, you should have a strong academic record. While UHCL doesn't specify a minimum GPA, competitive applicants usually have solid academic performance in their previous studies.

- For need-based consideration, you will need to demonstrate financial need, which can be done by filling out a summary of your financial resources on the scholarship application.

- Don't forget to include a one-page essay where you discuss your academic achievement and your goals at UHCL.

- Take note that this scholarship is renewable, but you must maintain a 2.5 GPA and full-time (12 hours undergraduate or 9 hours graduate) enrollment each semester.

Remember, these scholarships are competitive, so it's crucial to start the application process as early as possible and to make your application stand out. Also note, deadlines are usually in the spring for the following academic year, so keep an eye on any Scholarships Office communications for the exact dates. Good luck with your application!
