Does Brandeis offer any scholarships specifically for international students? I’m planning on applying and I’m interested in any financial aid that could make studying there more affordable.
Yes, indeed, Brandeis University does have financial aid for international students! Specifically, there are two merit-based scholarships available: the Brandeis-Sponsored Merit Scholarships and the Wien International Scholarship Program.
1. Brandeis-Sponsored Merit Scholarships: These scholarships are offered to a select group of students with outstanding academic and personal achievements. These are renewable for four years provided that you maintain good academic standing.
2. Wien International Scholarship Program: This program is designed for international undergraduate students who demonstrate exceptional academic promise, significant financial need and a strong commitment to community service and global engagement. It provides full or partial tuition awards to a limited number of exceptionally qualified students.
It's important to apply as early as possible and make sure that your application stands out. Merit scholarships are quite competitive and are awarded to a small percentage of the admitted student population.
Remember to provide all the necessary documents and meet every deadline stipulated by Brandeis in order to improve your chance of getting any of these scholarships. You may also want to consider applying for external scholarships that aren't university specific for additional funding opportunities.
Remember that the admissions process and financial aid process are separate, so even if you qualify for these scholarships, admission is not guaranteed. Make sure you put your best foot forward in both your application for admittance and your scholarship applications. Good luck with your journey!
