Howard University scholarships for international students?

Does Howard University offer scholarships for international students, and if so, what are the requirements? I'm eager to apply, but I want to make sure I meet all the criteria and understand the application process.

Howard University does offer scholarships for international students. The criteria and amount for these scholarships can vary. Some scholarships are based on academic excellence, leadership qualities, or other special abilities.

One of the notable scholarships is Howard's ETS Presidential Scholarship which requires a GPA of 3.50 or higher (on a 4.0 scale) and exceptional standardized test scores. This highly competitive scholarship provides one year of full tuition.

However, scholarships are highly competitive and are available to a limited number of students. Therefore, every international student, regardless of their qualifications, cannot solely rely on them.

In terms of application procedure, you do not require a separate application for these scholarships. Once you're admitted at Howard, you're automatically considered for the scholarships based on your application. The Office of Admissions awards the scholarships based on your high school academic achievements.

You should also keep in mind that while these scholarships are generous, additional funds will be needed for other educational expenses not covered by the scholarships. It's a good practice to also seek out external scholarships, or other financial resources, to ensure you have full financial support for your education. There are numerous scholarships available to international students, so consider broadening your search outside of the institution as well.

Remember, the information regarding scholarships may change from year to year. Be sure to confirm every detail from the official website or contact the university's finance or admissions office directly.
