I am considering applying to Florida Southern College, and I'm curious about the scholarships they offer for international students. Can anyone share details on the types and eligibility criteria for these scholarships?
Yes, Florida Southern College does provide scholarships for international students. All international applicants are automatically considered for scholarships when they submit their application, no separate application is required.
The merit-based awards range from $10,000 to $26,000 per year and are awarded based on academic achievement including GPA and standardized test scores if submitted. This is renewable for up to four years as long as you maintain satisfactory academic progress, which typically means maintaining a specific minimum GPA.
Furthermore, the college also offers a few competitive scholarships that require separate applications. These scholarships often have specific criteria related to academic achievement, leadership potential, or unique talents.
As an international applicant, you would also be eligible to apply for the "Southern Scholars Program" if you have a 4.0 GPA (or equivalent). This is a highly selective program where accepted students receive a tuition-fee scholarship each year, aimed at covering a substantial portion of your tuition costs.
Remember to verify these details from the college’s official website or by contacting the financial aid office, as scholarship details can change from year to year.
