Finding Scholarships Through Organizations for International Students

Are there specific organizations known for offering scholarships to international students? I'm in the early stages of my search and want to focus on credible and well-known groups. Any leads or experiences would be super helpful. Thanks a lot!

Certainly! There are quite a number of organizations out there that offer scholarships for international students.

The Institute of International Education (IIE) is a reputable organization that supports and sponsors programs such as the Fulbright Scholarships and the Hubert Humphrey Fellowship Program. These programs are prestigious and provide support for international students who want to study in the United States.

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) offers fellowships and grants to international women studying in the United States at the graduate level, particularly those pursuing a doctoral degree. They have a profound commitment to empowering women and developing leadership qualities.

Besides these, the Rotary Club through its Rotary Foundation offers scholarships for international study under its Rotary Foundation Global Grants program. These grants are usually for graduate students and professionals pursuing studies in one of Rotary's six areas of focus which include peace, disease prevention, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, and economic and community development.

Also, keep an eye on the scholarship programs run by organizations related to your field of study or interests, such as the IEEE for students in electrical and electronics engineering or the World Bank Scholarship for students in developing countries interested in development-related studies. These can sometimes have a less competitive pool since they're so specialized.

Remember to always ensure that you confirm the eligibility requirements for any scholarships you plan on applying for, as terms and conditions can vary widely. Good luck with your search!
