I'm an international student looking at Emporia State University and wonder if there are scholarships available for us. What kind of financial aid opportunities do they provide, and what's the application process like?
Emporia State University does indeed provide a variety of scholarships for international students, adding an extra layer of support for those studying from abroad.
For undergraduate international students, several merit-based scholarships are available, such as:
- Presidential Scholarship: This scholarship awards $9,500 to $20,000 per year and is primarily based on academic achievement.
- ESU Hornet, Corky Plus, and Corky Merit Scholarships: These are other merit-based scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $4,500 per year, again usually based on academic performance.
Remember, although these scholarships are awarded based on merit, factors like leadership experiences, extra-curricular activities, and personal statements might also play a part in the selection process.
As for the application process, it generally involves completing the application form for admission, submitting the necessary documents, such as academic transcripts and test scores, and often writing an essay. The admissions application and scholarship application processes are usually integrated at Emporia State University, which means you're considered for scholarships at the same time as your admission decision.
For further detail and to ensure you meet all the requirements, you should reach out to the university's financial aid office or international student services. Be sure to clarify deadlines as well to avoid any surprises.
Keep in mind that each scholarship has its own specific eligibility criteria, and you're expected to maintain a certain level of academic performance to continue receiving these scholarships. Good luck with your application!
