As an international applicant hoping to attend CSULA, I'm curious about scholarships that are available for students from outside the U.S. Are there specific programs I should consider applying to?
CSULA offers several scholarship opportunities that are open to international students. Among them is the Golden Eagle International Scholarship, which is a merit-based award recognizing outstanding academic performance. The eligibility criteria include a minimum GPA and full-time student enrollment.
Another award to consider is the University Scholarship, which is also awarded on the basis of academic excellence and personal achievements. However, this one also takes into consideration factors like leadership and community service.
It's also worth noting that while you’re exploring these institutional scholarships, don’t limit yourself to them exclusively. There are also numerous external scholarships available to international students. For instance, organizations such as the Rotary Club and the Fulbright Commission offer scholarships to international students studying in the United States.
I highly recommend checking out Appily for an extensive, searchable database of scholarships. You can filter based on your personal information and circumstances to find opportunities you might not have known about. Additionally, examining the Financial Aid section of CSULA's website could provide you more specific and up-to-date details about scholarship opportunities.
Remember to apply early, as scholarships can be very competitive, and to pay attention to all application requirements. Best of luck!
