Scholarships for International Transfer Students?

I'm a student currently abroad and thinking of transferring to a U.S. college next year. Are there scholarships specifically for international transfer students that I should look into? Any tips on where to start my search?

As an international student transferring to a U.S. institution, there are definitely scholarships out there; you just have to know where to look.

First off, check with the financial aid office at the college(s) to which you're planning to apply. Some universities have specific scholarships for international students, including transfer students. You should also examine the school's website and see if there are any department-specific scholarships for which you would qualify.

Beyond university-specific scholarships, you can search for scholarships on platforms like Appily, Fastweb, Chegg Scholarships or the College Board's Scholarship Search tool. When using these platforms, clearly identify yourself as an international student and as a transfer student, as these keywords will help to narrow down your search.

Finally, consider looking for scholarships provided by organizations in your home country that support students studying abroad. These tend to be less competitive than scholarships open to all international students and may provide a viable alternative source of funding.

Remember, applying for scholarships can be time-consuming, so it's good to start your search early. Good luck!
