Does anyone know of scholarships available for international students specifically in Houston? I'm planning to study there and want to ease the financial burden. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Certainly! Houston, being a large multicultural city, offers numerous scholarship opportunities for international students. Here are a few examples:
1. The University of Houston offers the Jack and D'Ann Burke International and Cecelia Eichenberg Memorial Scholarship. These are specifically for international students who demonstrate active involvement in international educational activities. The amount awards varies.
2. Rice University has a commitment to meet 100% of the demonstrated need of admitted students, whether they are domestic or international. So, if you're considering applying to Rice, make sure you submit all financial aid documents.
3. Houston Community College (HCC) Foundation offers a number of scholarships, including International Student Scholarships for eligible students enrolled in HCC programs.
Remember, though, to qualify for these financial aids, you will typically need to submit necessary forms like your family's financial information. If you're unsure about the processes, reach out to the financial aid office of the universities, they’ll be able to guide you through the process or point you to further resources.
In addition to scholarships directly from universities, consider looking into private scholarships that don't restrict eligibility based on citizenship status. Remember to be aware of potential scams when researching private scholarships. Any scholarship asking you to pay a fee is likely not legitimate.
