Hey everyone! As an international student considering Temple University, I'm curious about the scholarships available there. Does anyone know which specific scholarships Temple offers for international applicants, and what the eligibility criteria might be?
Hello, it's great that Temple University is on your radar! When it comes to scholarships for international students at Temple, there are a few you should be aware of:
1. #YouAreWelcomeHere Scholarship: Available to incoming international students of all academic majors, this scholarship awards a minimum of 50% tuition discount.
2. International Student Merit Scholarships: This is a merit-based scholarship, awarded based on the academic achievements of applicants. The amount awarded varies but could be as much as full tuition, provided the students maintain satisfactory academic progress.
3. Fly in 4 Scholarships: While not strictly for international students, these scholarships are available to all Temple students. A Fly in 4 scholarship helps cover college expenses to ensure you are able to graduate in four years.
Regarding eligibility, it varies depending on the scholarship. However, for most, as an international student, you'll need to demonstrate academic achievements, leadership skills, and participation in community service to be considered.
Also, there's no specific application process for most of these scholarships; you'll be automatically considered when you submit your application to Temple. However, for some scholarships like the #YouAreWelcomeHere Scholarship, you'll need to submit an additional application and essay.
It's essential to remember that all scholarships are competitive, so not all applicants will receive an award, regardless of their eligibility. But don't let that deter you! With strong academic records and involvement in extracurriculars, you'll certainly be in the running.
If you want to explore more, I would recommend reaching out directly to Temple University's Office of International Affairs for the most accurate and updated information, as they can provide more tailored guidance to your specific circumstances. Best of luck in your search!
