Are there renowned engineering schools in the USA that provide scholarships for international students? I'm an international student planning to major in engineering and the financial part is pretty daunting. Any recommendations would be super helpful!
Sure, there are quite a few good engineering schools in the U.S. that offer scholarships specifically for international students. Here are some:
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has need-blind admissions for international students and meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students, including internationals.
2. Stanford University also extends its need-based scholarships to international students. This applies to their strong engineering school as well.
3. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign offers a number of scholarships to international students, including through the Grainger College of Engineering.
4. Purdue University's College of Engineering offers some merit-based scholarships for international students, including the Trustees and Presidential scholarships.
5. The University of Southern California offers the Mork Family Scholarship, Stamps Scholarship, and Trustee Scholarship, all of which cover full tuition and are available to international students.
Remember that even when a college or university offers scholarships for which international students are eligible, the competition can be very high. It's a good idea to also explore outside scholarships and other sources of funding as well. You could use resources like Appily to find scholarships that you qualify for based on your particular profile.
Finally, make sure to reach out to the financial aid offices at the schools you're interested in. They can provide you with the most accurate and updated information on the scholarships they offer and the application process. Good luck!
