I'm interested in attending college in Arizona as an international student but unsure about the scholarship options available. Could anyone share insights on scholarships specifically for international students in Arizona?
Sure! Many colleges in Arizona offer scholarships to international students.
For instance, The University of Arizona offers the "First-Year Global Wildcat Award" which offers awards from $4,000 to $20,000 per academic year for freshmen.
Arizona State University also provides different scholarships for international students, including the "New American University Scholarship" which provides a substantial amount of financial aid based on academic merit.
Northern Arizona University also offers the "International Excellence Award," which is a merit-based tuition waiver for new International undergraduate degree-seeking students on the Flagstaff Mountain campus.
Aside from institutional scholarships, there are also private scholarships you can apply to that do not consider citizenship status like The Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans.
To increase your chances, be sure to prepare ahead of time by maintaining strong academic performance, getting involved in extracurricular activities and community service, and searching for scholarships early so you can meet all the application deadlines.
Remember, when applying for scholarships, always make sure you meet the eligibility criteria and pay close attention to the application requirements. Good luck with your scholarship search!
