I'm an international student considering applying to the University of Louisville, and I'm curious about their scholarship opportunities. What types of scholarships are available and what are the eligibility criteria? Would appreciate any advice or insights!
At the University of Louisville, there are several scholarships available for international undergraduate students. The most notable is the International Scholarship, which is a competitive, merit-based award reviewed on the basis of GPA and test scores. Students also must submit a scholarship essay when applying.
Another one is the Muhammad Ali international student scholarship. This is more competitive and is offered yearly to four students and carries a certain GPA requirement to be maintained.
For eligibility, international students must be admitted to the University of Louisville and hold F-1 or J-1 visa status. The scholarship cannot be combined with other scholarships (internal or external) and awards offered by UofL. Another important aspect to note is that scholarships are awarded for the Fall and Spring semesters only and all scholarships require full-time enrollment during both the Fall and Spring semester.
To apply, you would first submit an admission application to the university. The scholarship application is a part of the admission application, so you do not need to submit a separate application for the scholarship. You should carefully review the scholarship eligibility criteria before submitting your application.
I hope that gives you a good starting point with scholarships at the University of Louisville. Good luck with your application!
