I'm searching for universities that are known for offering scholarships to international students. Considering schools in various countries, any recommendations or personal experiences would be awesome.
Several universities are well-renowned for their financial aid and scholarship programs, which include options for international students.
In the U.S., some of the Ivy Leagues like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton have generous financial aid programs, often meeting 100% of demonstrated need, including international students. Dartmouth also offers need-based financial aid to a limited number of international students.
Universities such as MIT, Amherst College, and Williams College also provide need-based aid to international students.
In the U.S., merit-based scholarships are also available and can be quite substantial. Universities such as Duke and USC award merit-based scholarships that international students are eligible for.
In Canada, the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto, and McGill University offer scholarships specifically for international students.
In the UK, universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, and the University of Edinburgh have scholarship programs targeted towards international students.
It's important to thoroughly research each university's financial aid policies and find out if any additional applications are needed to be considered for these scholarships. Keep in mind that competition can be quite high, so it's important to also continue exploring other external scholarship opportunities outside of these university-offered scholarships.
