I'm exploring universities in Alabama as an international student. Are there any scholarships specifically for international students in Alabama that I should look into?
Yes, there are a few scholarships available specifically for international students in Alabama.
Firstly, Alabama State University offers the International Distinction Scholarship which covers up to half of international student tuition and fees depending on grade point average (GPA) and SAT/ACT scores.
Another one worth looking into is the University of Alabama's International Student Scholarships. This program offers tiers of scholarships covering varying amounts of tuition, again based on GPA and SAT/ACT scores.
Finally, Auburn University provides the Presidential Scholarship for International Students. This scholarship offers up to $14,000 per year for freshmen, and it also depends on GPA and SAT/ACT scores.
Please note that eligibility criteria and applications processes will vary, and high academic achievement is typically expected. It will also be helpful to reach out to the universities' respective financial aid offices for detailed information and any additional opportunities they may provide to international students.
Often, international students are not eligible for federal aid in the U.S., so it's a good idea to start researching and applying for scholarships early to ensure you have adequate funding for your studies.
