I'm looking into financial aid options for studying abroad and came across the idea of NGO scholarships. Does anyone know of NGOs that offer scholarships for international students heading to college?
Absolutely, there are several NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) that offer scholarships for international students. One such organization is the Rotary Foundation, which offers scholarships for graduate-level study. Under Rotary International's program, you could get sponsored by a local Rotary club in your home country for one of their global grants, used to fund graduate-level academic studies.
The Margaret McNamara Education Grants (MMEG) is another NGO that provides financial assistance to women from developing countries who are pursuing education in the United States and Canada.
The Aga Khan Foundation provides scholarships each year for postgraduate studies to outstanding students from select developing countries, prioritizing students with no other means of financing their education.
Furthermore, the World Wildlife Fund's Russell E. Train Fellowships offer support to international students interested in conservation-related fields of study.
Each of these scholarships has its own eligibility criteria and application procedures, so it's important to research and find a scholarship that aligns with your circumstances and educational goals.
