I'm an international student interested in pursuing a degree in technology. Are there specific scholarships aimed at international students in tech fields? What are some reputable ones that I should be aware of, and how do I apply?
Tech-based scholarships can be a great source of financial aid for international students. Here are a few scholarships that might be of interest.
1. Google's "Generation Google Scholarship" is aimed at encouraging underrepresented individuals to excel in technology and become future leaders in this field. It's important to note that they have specific scholarships for students from different regions so you'll want to check out the international scholarships.
2. Adobe Design Circle Scholarships - Although it's more towards design, it still falls within tech. Adobe awards this scholarship to students who showcase economic need and strong creative and leadership abilities.
3. Palantir's Future Scholarship - This is open to students pursuing an undergraduate degree in a STEM field, including technology. It supports and celebrates underrepresented STEM students.
Each scholarship comes with its own set of requirements and steps to apply. Typically, you need to fill out an application form, write essays, and sometimes provide letters of recommendation. I would recommend checking each scholarship's official website for specific guidelines and application processes. Start your applications early and remember to proofread them carefully. Good luck!
