I'm trying to figure out if there are any full scholarships available for international students who want to study in Michigan. It would be awesome if anyone could share some names of schools or scholarships that offer full financial coverage.
Certainly, there are several scholarships that fully fund international students studying in Michigan. Here are a few:
1. The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor offers several scholarships for international students, including the Stamps Scholars Program. This scholarship stands out because it covers all costs of attendance, including tuition, room and board, books/supplies, and even personal expenses. The scholarship is highly competitive and requires a separate application process.
2. Michigan State University’s Honors College has the Professorial Assistantship program. While this is not a full scholarship, it does provide a stipend for a 10-hour per week research assistant position for the first two years of study. This can significantly help to offset the cost of tuition and other expenses.
3. Kalamazoo College offers scholarships based on strong academic records. While most of the scholarships do not cover the entire cost of attendance, Kalamazoo also has the Kalamazoo International Student Scholarship. The amount varies annually.
4. Wayne State University has the Warrior Fund: International Giving Scholarship, which is need-based and considers an applicant’s academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, and other factors.
5. The Aquinas College also offers several scholarships to all students, which international students are eligible for, such as the Aquinas Scholars program.
While these represent some Michigan-based scholarships, don't limit your search to just scholarships tied to specific schools in Michigan. Many other organizations provide scholarships that are not restricted based on the location of the college or university, so be sure to explore those opportunities as well to maximize your financial aid potential. Good luck!
