I'm considering applying to Oakland University as an international student. Could anyone provide information on the scholarships they offer to international students? Are there any specific requirements or deadlines I should be aware of?
Oakland University offers a range of scholarships for international students, which is a great way to help finance your studies.
One notable scholarship is the International Students Scholarship. This award is based on GPA and SAT/ACT scores (if submitted). It's renewable annually as long as you maintain satisfactory progress toward your degree and a minimum GPA of 3.0.
Another opportunity is the International Merit Scholarships. These award varying amounts based on academic achievement and other holistically reviewed criteria and do not require any separate application.
