I'm looking at the University of Iowa and wondering what scholarships are available for international students. Can anyone share their experiences or any advice on the application process? Are there specific forms or deadlines I should know about?
International students applying to the University of Iowa have several scholarship opportunities, including the International Distinction Scholarship and the International Student Scholarship. These are merit-based scholarships that do not require a separate application.
The International Distinction Scholarship offers awards based on your high school GPA and SAT/ACT scores. The scholarship ranges from $2,000 to $12,000, renewable annually if you maintain a certain GPA.
The International Student Scholarship is an annual scholarship ranging from $500 to $10,000. Recipients are selected based on their academic achievements indicated in their admission applications.
Another option is the Global Excellence Scholarship for distinguished international students. Awards range from $2,000 to $10,000 per year.
Keep in mind that you need to complete and submit your application for admission by March 1st and be enrolled as a full-time student for fall and spring semesters to be considered for these scholarships.
For more specific and personalized scholarship opportunities, I would recommend reaching out to the University of Iowa’s office of Admissions or Financial aid. They'll be more able to give you the particulars for your own situation!
Please note that scholarship and financial aid offerings can change from year to year, so it's always a good idea to check the university's website for the most up-to-date information. Good luck with your application!
