I'm looking into the University of San Diego, and as an international student, I'm curious about the scholarships they offer. Does anyone know about either need-based or merit-based scholarships for international students?
The University of San Diego (USD) provides several scholarship opportunities for international students. Keep in mind that receiving these awards can be highly competitive due to the number of applications the university receives each year.
1. Merit Scholarships: The most relevant for international students are the merit-based scholarships that do not require U.S. citizenship. These are awarded to academically talented students and the amount can vary. When you apply as an international student to USD, you are automatically considered for these scholarships. There's no separate application process. USD Merit Scholarships range from $18,000 to $25,000 per academic year.
2. Athletic Scholarships: International students are also eligible for athletic scholarships. Please contact the Recruiting Coach directly if you are interested in finding out how to qualify.
Remember to check the scholarship conditions since some scholarships may require you to maintain a certain GPA or partake in particular activities or programs at USD. Make sure to verify the requirements from the university's official website or contact the Financial Aid office for the most accurate details.
