I'm looking at attending Pace University as an international student. Can anyone provide information on scholarships they offer, how to apply, and what's the usual amount awarded? Any personal experiences would be awesome!
Pace University does indeed offer several scholarships to international students, with the express intent of making the university's rich educational experience more accessible.
One primary form of financial aid that international students can apply for is the Pace University Merit Scholarship Program. This program offers a range of renewable, merit-based awards that vary depending on the student's academic achievements. The amounts can range from a few thousand dollars up to full tuition.
There are also scholarships targeted towards specific areas, such as the Performing Arts Scholarships for those who are applying to the Pace School of Performing Arts.
You'll be considered for the Pace University Merit Scholarship Program automatically when you apply to the university, so there's no additional application process for that. As for specific scholarships like the Performing Arts ones, you may need to fill out additional forms or provide supplementary materials such as auditions or portfolios.
Keep in mind, outside of these university-offered aid opportunities, you can also look into private scholarships in your home country or globally that can be applied to any university, including Pace.
Do remember, however, that scholarships are often competitive and may not cover the full cost of attending university, especially as an international student. It would be prudent to also prepare a financial plan that does not rely solely on receiving scholarships.
Best of luck with your applications!
