I'm interested in applying to Saint Louis University as an international student. Can anyone share insights on scholarships available for international students there? Would love to hear about the application process and any specific requirements!
Saint Louis University (SLU) offers several scholarships that are available to international students. Let's discuss a few.
For undergraduate applicants, the most significant is the Presidential Scholarship. It's a highly competitive, merit-based award that covers full tuition. It is renewable each year of the recipient's four-year, undergraduate degree. Being a top-notch student with an excellent academic record is a must to be considered.
Apart from the Presidential Scholarship, SLU also offers the Vice President's Scholarship, which can cover up to full tuition, and the University Scholarship, which is up to $22,000 per year. Both of these are also merit-based.
Moreover, SLU provides the International Ambassador Scholarship for international students who show impressive leadership skills or have made significant contributions to their schools or communities. If you've been significantly involved in extracurricular activities and community service, this could be a great fit.
Bear in mind, for these scholarships, once you submit your application to SLU, you're automatically considered. There's no separate application process.
Now, if you plan on taking up a graduate degree, SLU offers the Graduate Assistantship and the Micah Program. The former includes a 12-month stipend and tuition scholarship, while the latter offers a service-based scholarship.
It's also always a good idea to understand the requirements thoroughly and ensure your application reflects your strengths and aligns with the scholarship criteria. For SLU scholarships, you generally need high academic achievements and possibly some community involvement or leadership roles. Actual scores and GPA requirements can vary by year and program, so double-checking on the university's official website or contacting the admissions office directly would provide the most accurate information.
Lastly, remember to apply early and take note of deadlines to ensure your application is considered. Best of luck with your applications!
