I'm exploring my options for studying in the US and came across the University of Albany. I’m curious to know what scholarships they offer for international students. Does anyone know details about eligibility or how to apply?
The University of Albany offers several scholarship opportunities tailored explicitly for international students. Some of these include:
1. International Student Scholarships: If you are accepted into an academic bachelor’s degree program, you may be considered for an International Student Scholarship. There's no need to fill out a separate application for this scholarship; you're automatically considered when you apply for admission.
2. SUNY International Student Scholarship: This is a competitive scholarship election process, and if selected, the maximum students can receive is $20,500 per year for first-year applicants, for a potential total of $82,000 over four years. However, eligibility for this scholarship is contingent on excellent academic performance.
3. #YouAreWelcomeHere Scholarship: This is a merit-based scholarship that is pledged to new international students applying for freshman admission. The scholarship is renewable and covers a minimum of 50% of tuition.
To apply, you'll need to complete your application for admission to the university and then fill out the separate scholarship application forms. Make sure to keep track of all deadlines to ensure that you submit your applications timely. Also, remember to consider whether you need to write essays or supply letters of recommendation as part of the scholarship application process. It's important to read the requirements closely and provide all required documents to increase your chances of receiving the scholarship. Good luck with your application!
