I'm considering applying to Eckerd College but I'm worried about funding as an international student. Does anyone know what scholarship options are available specifically for international students there?
Eckerd College offers a variety of list of scholarships and grants designed to support international students in meeting their educational goals. Here are some that might interest you:
1. International Student Grant: This is a need-based grant that international students can apply for. This grant's value can vary and it is determined by the Financial Aid Office based on the student's financial need.
2. Trustee Scholar Award: This merit-based scholarship awards up to $24,000 per year to international students that have excelled in their academic studies. The award is renewable for up to four years of study.
3. Presidential Scholar Award: Like the Trustee Scholar Award, this is a merit-based scholarship designed to recognize academic achievement. This scholarship awards up to $17,000 per year and also is renewable for up to four years of study.
All applicants to Eckerd College are automatically considered for these scholarships when they submit their application, and no separate application is needed.
In addition to these scholarships, Eckerd also offer work-study opportunities, although these may have certain restrictions for international students due to visa regulations. However, these can be an excellent way to supplement your scholarship aid and make your time at Eckerd more financially manageable.
To get the most accurate and up-to-date information, I strongly recommend you contact the college's financial aid office directly or talk to an admissions counselor. Good luck with your application!
