I'm looking into universities in North Carolina and was wondering about scholarship options for international students. Are there any notable scholarships I should be aware of or specific resources to check out?
Sure, there are quite a few scholarships available to international students in North Carolina. Please keep in mind that the specifics can vary greatly from one school to another, so it's worth exploring the different options provided by each institution you're considering.
A few scholarships that come to mind are:
1. The Morehead-Cain Scholars Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which covers all expenses for four years of undergraduate study, is open to international applicants.
2. Duke University offers the Karsh International Scholars Program, which covers tuition, room, and board for international students.
3. At Wake Forest University, the Presidential Scholarship for Distinguished Achievement covers $16,000 per year for four years.
Remember, the application process for these scholarships can be highly competitive, so it's important to prepare thoroughly.
In terms of resources, I would advise contacting the financial aid offices at the universities you are interested in. They can provide specific information about scholarships available to international students and instructions on how to apply.
Additionally, check out Appily which allows you to search for scholarships based on your profile and interests, including scholarships for international students. It can be a really useful tool when hunting for scholarships.
Lastly, the U.S. Department of State's EducationUSA website is a valuable resource for international students looking for information on studying in the U.S., including financial aid opportunities.
Remember that applications and deadlines can vary, so staying organized and keeping track of all pertinent information is key to efficiently managing the scholarship application process. Best of luck in your search!
