Does Purdue University provide any full scholarships for international students like covering full tuition or other costs? It would be great to know what the criteria might be to qualify for something like this. Anyone have details?
Purdue University offers some scholarship options for international students, however, full scholarships covering all associated costs of attendance are rare.
One of the available scholarships is the Trustees Scholarship, which ranges from $10,000 to $16,000 per academic year and could be renewed for up to four years of undergraduate study. This scholarship is based on your admission application; there's no separate application process. Selection is highly competitive and primarily based on academic merit, including factors like grades, course rigor, and standardized test scores.
Another one is the Presidential Scholarship. This scholarship is valued at $10,000 per academic year. Just like the Trustees Scholarship, it is based on the admission application, aimed at academically outstanding students, and can be renewed for up to four years of undergraduate study.
Keep in mind, however, that these amounts may not cover the entire cost of tuition, fees, and living expenses for international students. It's also crucial to remember these scholarships are extremely competitive due to a limited number of awards. Therefore, pursuing external scholarships and thoroughly planning your financial resources is highly recommended.
Always check with the university’s scholarship or financial aid department for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
