Is anyone familiar with the scholarships offered by Saint Mary's University for international students? I'm trying to budget for my education, and any details about financial aid or assistance would be super helpful.
Saint Mary's University indeed offers a variety of scholarships for international students. There are several scholarships that you may find interesting:
1. The President's International Student Scholarship: This is a renewable academic scholarship, awarded annually to top international students. Typically, this is awarded to students who have achieved a minimum 85% admission average.
2. The International Student Grant Programme: Offered based on financial need, and satisfactory academic performance is expected to renew this aid.
3. The Santamarian Scholarship: This can be awarded to entering high school, transfer, and mature students who are actively involved in their school and community.
Remember, these are competitive scholarships, so they are not guaranteed. The selection process will consider things like your academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and leadership roles, among other things.
Also, Saint Mary's University allows stacking of some scholarships, which means you can receive multiple scholarships, and their total value can be added together.
On top of these scholarships, you should also consider applying for external funds or seeking opportunities for on-campus employment, which could be another good source of financial support.
All the best! I hope this helps, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have further questions.
