I'm an international student eyeing Morehead State University and curious about the scholarships they offer. Does anyone have insights into what types of financial aid are available for international applicants there?
Morehead State University does offer scholarships to international students. These include academic scholarships based on grade point average (GPA) and the International Student scholarship.
The academic scholarships range from $5,000 to $14,000 and are awarded based on cumulative GPA. For instance, in past cycles, students with a GPA of 3.75 and above were eligible for the $14,000 scholarship, those with a GPA from 3.5 to 3.74 were eligible for $12,000, and so forth. It's important to check the most recent scholarship information on the Morehead State University website, as specifics may change from year to year.
The International Student scholarship, on the other hand, is a competitive scholarship that's awarded based on a holistic review of the applicant's credentials. The award amount for this scholarship can vary.
For both the academic and International Student scholarships, the awards are renewable as long as the student maintains the required GPA and fulfills the full-time enrollment requirement.
In addition to scholarships, international students at Morehead State can also apply for on-campus employment, which can help offset living expenses.
When it comes to financial aid, like with many U.S. universities, international students at Morehead State University are not eligible for federal aid. However, it's always a good idea to look into other outside scholarship opportunities in your home country, as well as international scholarships offered by various organizations.
Remember, while scholarships can significantly help in covering your educational expenses, it's important to also consider other costs such as living expenses, books, transportation, and other personal expenses when planning your budget. Good luck with your application!
