I dream of studying in the USA, but as an international student, costs are a big issue for me. Can anyone suggest scholarships that international students like me can apply for? Any advice would help.

Providing financial support for education in the USA is a key concern for many international students. Fortunately, there are indeed scholarships available to international students. Here are some you might want to explore further:

1. Fulbright Foreign Student Program: This program operates in more than 160 countries worldwide and provides grants for graduate study and research in the U.S.

2. Foreign Fulbright Student Program: This is specifically for students outside the USA who want to pursue a Master’s or PhD degree. The scholarships also can cover the costs of tuition, textbooks, airfare, and health insurance.

3. Agnes Scott College International Scholarships: Agnes Scott College in Atlanta provides scholarships to international students based on academic achievement and need. The scholarship can be up to full tuition.

4. Ivy League Schools Need-Based Aid: Ivy League schools offer generous need-based financial aid to international students. After calculating what you can afford to pay, the schools cover the remaining costs, often through a combination of grants and work-study. However, you should ensure that your application stands out because of the program's competitive nature.

5. Rotary Peace Fellowships: These scholarships from Rotary International offer funding to pursue a Master’s degree or professional development certificate in Peace and Conflict Studies at one of six Rotary Peace Centers around the world, including Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the United States.

6. AAUW International Fellowships: The American Association of University Women (AAUW) offers fellowships for women who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents and want to perform full-time study or research in the United States.

It's essential to start applying early as some of these scholarships have early deadlines and rigorous application processes. Best of luck with your application process!
