I want to pursue college studies abroad and need financial help. Can anyone guide me on how to find scholarships suitable for international students?
Most universities offer scholarships for international students, both merit-based and need-based. Check each university's website, especially their International Student Office or Financial Aid Office pages, for details on their scholarship offerings.
You can also look for broader international scholarships not tied to a specific school. One example is the Fulbright Program, which offers scholarships to international students wishing to study in the US. Meanwhile, the Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford are internationally recognized and highly prestigious.
There are also search engines dedicated to compiling lists of scholarships. For example, the Appily scholarship search engine allows you to specify your status as an international student in your search criteria.
Remember, each scholarship will have its unique criteria you'll need to meet. Your nationality, area of study, academic achievements, and/or community service may all factor into your eligibility. Make sure to start your search early and keep track of application deadlines.
