Considering studying in Washington, D.C., and I'm on the lookout for scholarships available to international students. Are there any specific scholarships or universities I should check out?
Sure, several universities in Washington, D.C. do offer scholarships for international students. Here are a few suggestions.
1. George Washington University (GWU): GWU offers the Presidential International Scholarship, which is merit-based and covers up to full tuition expenses. There's also the GW’s Global Leaders Fellowship, which covers a portion of the tuition fees for graduate students.
2. Georgetown University: Georgetown offers various scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate international students. They're mostly merit-based scholarship opportunities, and while they are competitive, they can significantly offset tuition costs.

For external scholarships, consider options such as the Global Student Scholarships, which is specifically for international students studying in the U.S., and the Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship Programme, for postgraduate students from select developing countries.
Remember, scholarships heavily depend on your own qualifications, circumstances, and the course you aim to study. It is always best to directly check the university's website or contact their admissions office for the most current information.
