I'm an international student interested in attending Howard University. I've heard there are some scholarships available specifically for us. Can anyone share more details on what scholarships are available and how I might apply for them?
Sure! At Howard University, there are a few scholarships you might be eligible for as an international student.
The Freshmen Scholarship, which is automatically offered to freshmen upon admission, is one option. If you have a strong academic record, this could be a great opportunity. The award amount depends on your academic profile and is open to all students, including internationals. It's renewed annually as long as you meet the GPA requirements.
There's also the Bison STEM Scholarship Program. If you plan to major in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) field, this could be a great fit. This highly competitive program even offers full-ride scholarships for students in specified majors.
The Rotarian Larry L. Hill Memorial Scholarship is another. This scholarship supports a freshman who exhibits academic excellence and demonstrates financial need.
To apply, first, make sure to submit your application for admission to Howard University. Once admitted, you'll be considered for some scholarships automatically, including the Freshman Scholarship. For others, like the Bison STEM Scholarship Program, you'll need to complete a separate application. The Howard University Financial Aid office can provide more specific guidance, so I'd recommend reaching out to them directly for detailed info.
Remember, these are just a few examples and the offerings can vary from year to year. Always double-check the details with the scholarship provider or the financial aid office!
