Hi! I'm an international student hoping to study civil engineering at an undergraduate level in the U.S. Are there any scholarships specifically for civil engineering majors, or should I look at general international student scholarships? Any guidance would help!
Absolutely, there are a range of scholarships available for international students seeking to major in civil engineering. Here are a few scholarships specifically tailored to your field of study:
1. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Scholarships: ASCE offers a number of different scholarships for undergraduate civil engineering students. While the conditions and amounts for these scholarships can vary, many are open to international students.
2. The Institute of Structural Engineers (IStructE) Undergraduate Scholarships: These scholarships are awarded to high-achieving students in structural (and potentially civil) engineering programs. Although this is a UK-based institution, many scholarships are open to students globally.
In addition to field-specific scholarships, it's definitely worth looking into more general scholarships for international students. For example:
1. Fulbright Scholarships: These are for international students coming to the U.S. to study at either undergraduate or postgraduate level. They're highly competitive but offer full funding for the duration of your program.
2. The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program: While this is technically a non-degree program, it provides funding for international students aiming to undertake professional development in the U.S. It might not cover your degree directly, but it could provide career-boosting opportunities within civil engineering.
Remember, the exact requirements and conditions for each scholarship can vary, so it's worth checking individual websites for the most up-to-date information. Lastly, don't forget to check with your chosen college or university. Many institutions offer specific scholarships for international students — inquire directly or check their website for information. Good luck with your applications!
