I'm researching scholarships for international students aiming to study in the USA. Can anyone recommend some of the best scholarships or programs that have supported international students in the past? Any success stories would be great!
There are indeed various scholarships for international students to study in the U.S. It's fantastic that you're investigating these opportunities. Here are a few you might consider:
1. Fulbright Foreign Student Program: This scholarship is intended for graduate students and professionals who wish to study, conduct research, or teach their home country's language in the U.S. Fulbright is one of the most prestigious international scholarship programs; it covers tuition, airfare, health insurance, and provides a living stipend.
2. Davis United World College Scholars Program: This need-based scholarship is available at participating U.S. colleges and universities for students who have completed their high school at a United World College.
3. The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program: This program provides a year of professional enrichment in the United States for experienced professionals from designated countries throughout the world.
4. Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship Programme: This foundation provides a limited number of scholarships each year for postgraduate studies to citizens of countries in which it has activities, including the US. Scholarships are awarded on merit with an emphasis on the financial need of the applicant.
Remember, scholarship applications often require diligent effort as they can be quite competitive. Start searching and applying for scholarships early, and don't overlook smaller or less-known scholarships. Every bit helps. With perseverance and dedication, you could secure funding for your studies. Best of luck with your scholarship hunt!
