Scholarships for international students at the University of Denver?

I'm planning to apply to the University of Denver as an international student. Can anyone provide insights into their scholarship offerings for international students? I'm particularly interested in the criteria and the application process.

Certainly! The University of Denver (DU) provides a range of financial aid opportunities for international students. Here are a few notable ones:

1. The International Student Scholarship: This scholarship is awarded to deserving international students at the University of Denver based on academic achievement. This grant is renewable annually up until graduation, as long as you maintain full-time enrollment and satisfactory academic progress. The value of this scholarship varies, but it is typically a significant amount towards tuition. You would automatically be considered for this scholarship with your admissions application - no separate application is necessary.

2. DU’s Partner Scholarship: This is designated for students from partner institutions or affiliated programs. Your application to DU will be evaluated, and if you are part of one of these specific relationships or programs, you might be eligible for this grant.

3. Alumni Endowed Scholarship: This is given to international students who have demonstrated exceptional skills in leadership and personal qualities.

To apply for these scholarships:

For the International Student Scholarship and DU’s Partner Scholarship, you don't have to do anything. As mentioned above, you're automatically considered for these scholarships when you apply for admission.

For the Alumni Endowed Scholarship, you'd need to make sure to highlight your leadership experiences and personal qualities in your application for them to be considered.

It's worth checking if there are scholarships specific to your country of origin or field of study. You can find all this information on the DU website under the "finances" segment and by contacting the school's financial aid office. They'll guide you through any additional applications or paper work that may be required.

Remember that while scholarships can be a significant help, they are not the only form of financial aid available. You might also want to look into work-study opportunities, loans, and even co-op programs which allow you to work and study simultaneously. Discussing these options with the financial aid office at DU will give you a holistic picture of the financial resources available to you.
