Hi all, I'm considering Murray State University and am curious about the scholarships they might offer for international students. Can anyone shed some light on what options exist?
Absolutely! Murray State University offers a wide range of scholarships that international students are eligible for. Concretely, there are mainly two types of scholarships, merit-based and need-based.
1. Merit-based scholarships: Various International Merit Scholarships are available that range from $2,000 to full tuition. These are awarded based on academic credentials and do not require a separate application. The GPA requirements vary from scholarship to scholarship, but they typically require a minimum of a 3.0 GPA.
2. Achievement Scholarships: These are offered to international students based on high academic achievement, leadership qualities, and personal characteristics. The award amounts vary and could cover a significant portion of your tuition.
3. Need-based scholarships: These are given to students demonstrating financial need. To be considered, you must complete the International Student Financial Aid Application.
Remember that deadlines for these scholarships can vary, and some may require separate applications, so it's best to contact Murray State's financial aid office or check their website for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
On top of these institutional scholarships, don't forget to search for external scholarships that might be applicable to your situation. For example, many private organizations and foundations offer scholarships for international students studying in the United States. These scholarships often have their own application processes and deadlines so make sure to check those out too.
Hope this helps, and best of luck with your applications!
