I'm looking into studying logistics and am curious if there are scholarships for international students in this field. Has anyone come across scholarships aimed at this major? Sharing any resources or advice would be awesome!
A supportive approach to finding scholarships involves researching opportunities that are directly related to your field of study, such as logistics, and that are open to international students.
Start by checking out the websites of universities that you are interested in. Many institutions offer scholarships based on department or major, and have specific funds set aside for international students. Visit their financial aid pages and look for scholarships related to your area of study - logistics.
Alternatively, you might consider searching for logistics organizations that offer scholarships. Groups or societies related to Supply Chain Management or Logistics frequently sponsor scholarships for students showing promise in these fields. Examples might include the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) or the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM), among others.
While online scholarship databases can be quite useful in pulling a wide range of scholarships, remember to tailor your search to be as specific as possible. Appily is a comprehensive database where you can filter scholarships based on field of study, nationality, and so forth. You can set your filter to 'Logistics' and 'International Students' to get more specific results.
Remember, scholarships aren’t always just about grades. Many are looking for leadership experience or volunteer service, so don't limit yourself to only academic merit scholarships if you have other experiences and strengths.
Finally, applying for scholarships can be time-consuming, so start early, stay organized, and be persistent. Good luck!
