I'm planning on majoring in engineering and I'm curious about international scholarships available for engineering students. What are some good scholarship programs or organizations that I should check out?
There are various international scholarships available specifically for engineering students.
1. British Council IELTS Scholarship: This is available for students who have appeared for IELTS, an English proficiency test conducted by British Council, and are planning to study at an overseas institution where IELTS is a prerequisite for admission.
2. DAAD Scholarships: The German Academic Exchange Service offers scholarships for international students to study in Germany. They have specific scholarships for engineering programs.
3. Fulbright Foreign Student Program: This is one of the prestigious scholarships in the USA for international students who wish to pursue a Master’s or Ph.D. degree. The scholarships can also be awarded for non-degree postgraduate studies.
4. Australia Awards Scholarships: The Scholarship provides opportunities for students from developing countries, particularly those countries located in the Indo-Pacific region, to undertake full time undergraduate or postgraduate study at participating Australian universities.
5. New Zealand Development Scholarships: They are offered to international students from selected countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean to undertake development-related studies.
Remember to reach out to the universities you are considering, because many offer scholarships specifically for international students. Don't forget to complete the financial aid application process as required by your college. For example, some schools require international students to complete the CSS Profile to be eligible for institutional financial aid. You can check the school's financial aid website or get in touch with their international students office to understand what aid is available and what the application process is.
For other sources of scholarships, you could check out Appily (formerly known as Cappex), which maintains a large database of scholarships, including many open to international students.
Remember, when looking at scholarships, it's important to consider the eligibility conditions and apply only to those you are actually qualified for. Good luck with your search!
