I'm exploring Marian University as an option for college and I'm an international student. Does anyone know what kind of scholarships they offer? Any advice on what they're looking for in applicants would be awesome.
Marian University offers several scholarships for international students, which can help offset the cost of tuition. Two notable scholarships are the International Baccalaureate Scholarship and the Trustee International Scholarship.
1. The International Baccalaureate Scholarship is for students who have completed the IB Diploma Programme. The award amount varies based on the total IB score.
2. The Trustee International Scholarship is a competitive award that considers both academic achievement and demonstrated leadership. It offers substantial financial assistance to successful applicants.
Regarding advice for applicants, like any other scholarships, Marian University appreciates students who demonstrate a strong academic background, leadership abilities, involvement in extracurricular activities, and a commitment to the school's mission and values. This does not necessarily mean you need to have a perfect GPA. However, it does mean that your academic achievement and potential, along with your ability to contribute to the school community, will be important factors in the scholarship selection process.
In your application, strive to demonstrate how you have made an impact in your current school or community, your commitment to your academic field, and your alignment with Marian's values of learning, community, service, social justice, and spiritual traditions. Be sure to also check for any essay requirements for these scholarships, as this will be an opportunity to showcase these qualities.
Remember to apply for these scholarships as early as possible, as there could be deadlines that may apply to international students. Please check the official Marian University website to confirm details about these scholarships and their respective deadlines. And don't overlook the possibility of external scholarships that could also help fund your education at Marian. Good luck with your application!
