I'm looking to study in Los Angeles and focus on hospitality. Are there scholarships available for international students there? I'd really appreciate any information on financial aid options or scholarships.
Many universities in Los Angeles offer scholarships to international students. For example, the University of Southern California (USC) has various scholarships that are open to international applicants. Despite majority of their scholarships being awarded based on the information you provide in the admission application process, it wouldn't hurt to check their financial aid page for a comprehensive list.
Another institution worth checking out is Loyola Marymount University. They offer a range of scholarships for international students, which can offer a good amount of financial relief to international students demonstrating high academic achievement.
You could also check out ScholarshipOwl, which is a search engine with a list of available scholarships for international students. While you're there, look up the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International (HSMAI) Mike Dimond Scholarship. This is targeted at hospitality students and international applicants are eligible.
Don't forget about general scholarships that aren't specific to international students too, many are open to all applicants regardless of citizenship.
Finally, reaching out to the financial aid offices at the LA universities you're interested in could prove to be a useful resource. They can provide more personalized information about scholarship opportunities. Remember, securing all possible scholarships takes time and effort, so start your search early and apply for as many as you qualify for. Good luck!
