One of the most popular merit-based scholarships is the International Achievement Scholarship. It's awarded based on a student's academic records and extracurricular involvement. It covers a portion of the out-of-state tuition, reducing it to the in-state rate. The award amount varies, but it can be quite significant.
Another scholarship that could help you out is the Undergraduate Scholarships for Newly Admitted International Students, which is awarded based on academic achievement. This scholarship is available to students who are first-time freshmen or transfer students with less than 24 transferable hours.
In addition to these, OSU offers various department-specific scholarships, so it's worth seeing if the department of your intended major has any scholarships for international students.
Remember, scholarships are competitive, so it's best to apply as early as possible. Make your application stand out by showcasing any leadership roles, community service, extracurricular activities, and academic accomplishments.
Regarding eligibility criteria, students have to maintain a certain GPA, have a good conduct record, and maintain full-time enrollment among other factors. Be sure to confirm the scholarship criteria on the scholarship page of the university.
I hope these tips help you move forward with your application process and make attentive financial preparations! Good luck with your applications.
