I'm an international student thinking of applying to UMBC, but financial aid is crucial for me. Are there any scholarships provided by the university for international students, and if so, how do I apply?
Yes, UMBC does provide scholarships for international students. The university offers merit-based scholarships to incoming international students, including the International Ambassador Scholarship. This enables international students to engage with the UMBC community while receiving a significant level of financial support.
These scholarships are typically awarded at the time of admission, and all applicants, including international students, are automatically considered. There's no separate application required for most of these scholarships. You just need to ensure that you submit your UMBC application (along with all necessary documents) by January 15th, which is the priority deadline.
Keep in mind that these awards are highly competitive and offered to an extremely limited number of students who showcase outstanding academic achievement and exceptional promise.
Lastly, be sure to review the UMBC Financial Aid and Scholarships website for the most up-to-date information and for any additional scholarships you may be eligible for.
