I'm an international student interested in completing high school in Europe. Does anyone know of any scholarships available for students like me? Are there specific countries or schools that are well-known for offering good scholarships?
While it's somewhat less common for high schools to offer scholarships compared to universities, there are indeed opportunities for international students looking to finish their secondary education in Europe. One tip is to focus on international schools in Europe since they will more likely have programs equipped for non-native students and may offer scholarships or financial aid as well.
1. Aiglon College in Switzerland is a popular international boarding school that offers a range of scholarships. The school provides merit-based scholarships to students who can demonstrate strong academic potential, personal character, and involvement in extracurricular activities.
2. United World Colleges (UWC) is a network of international schools across the globe including several in Europe. They offer scholarships based on needs and merit. UWC schools are renowned for their educational philosophy of fostering global and cultural understanding.
3. The American School in England (TASIS) in the UK offers a few scholarships for students based on accomplishments in academic, arts, or athletics.
4. The International School of Paris, France offers IB Diploma scholarships to international students. It's a merit-based scholarship for students who have excelled in their studies.
Remember, these scholarships are typically competitive and may require additional applications or essays. In general, it's also a good idea to reach out to the specific schools directly for the most accurate, up-to-date information on their scholarship offerings and application procedures. Finally, consult with your current school's academic or guidance counselor, who may also have resources or contacts that can assist in your search. Good luck!
