Scholarships for International Students at Georgia Southern University

Does Georgia Southern University offer scholarships to international students? I'm looking into applying there and would love to know what kind of financial support might be available for international applicants.

Yes, Georgia Southern University does offer scholarships to international students. They have both merit-based and need-based scholarships targeted to international students.

The International Student Merit Scholarship is open to all new incoming international students. It's based on academic achievement and test scores and can be renewed for four years. You don't need to complete a separate application for this scholarship. Once you're admitted, you'll automatically be considered.

On the need-based side, there's the International Diversity Scholarship, which is designed to support international students with financial need. It values diversity and gives preference to students from countries or regions that are underrepresented in the student population.

Remember to check the deadline for these scholarships. You'll need to make sure your admissions application is completed by the scholarship deadline in order to be considered.

Also, keep in mind that while these scholarships can help, they may not cover all costs associated with studying in the U.S. Those include tuition, housing, meals, transportation, books, health insurance, and personal expenses. You'll need to have additional sources of funding to cover these expenses.

Remember, scholarships are competitive, and not all students who apply will receive one. So it's always a good idea to apply for multiple scholarships and also look for funding opportunities outside of the university.

Good luck on your journey to studying in the U.S.!
