Scholarships for international students at IE University?

I'm an international student considering applying to IE University and would love to know if there are scholarships available to help with expenses. Has anyone here applied for these, and how competitive are they?

IE University does indeed offer a range of scholarships specifically for international students. The scholarships are competitive and are awarded based on academic merit, meaning your overall grades, extracurricular activities, and any additional community services will be considered. This is why it’s paramount to put forward a well-rounded application, not just focusing on your academics but also illustrating your activities outside the classroom.

For instance, some of the scholarships include the "IE Kistefos Young Talented Leaders Scholarships" for students from Norway, Ethiopia, Liberia, and South Africa, as well as the "IE Foundation Prizes in Humanities" for undergraduate students in any faculty.

It's important to apply as soon as you can. Remember that some scholarships have separate application processes and deadlines, in addition to your regular application. Thus, timing is critical. I'd advise you to review the scholarship section of the IE University website, understand the requirements for each scholarship, and keep track of when applications open and close.

Furthermore, do remember that scholarships aren't the only form of financial aid. Consider looking into grants, work-study programs, and affordable loan options as well. While the process of finding and applying for scholarships and financial aid can be quite daunting, it's definitely worth the effort! The main thing is to take your time with each application and put forward your best possible case.
