Are there scholarships for international high school students wanting to study in Missouri?

I'm an international high school student planning to apply to colleges in Missouri. Are there any specific scholarships for international students like me planning to study there?

There are scholarships available for international students applying to schools in Missouri. Many of these scholarships, however, are offered directly through individual institutions and would typically require you to apply for the award in addition to your general admission application. Here are examples from three different schools in Missouri:

1. The University of Missouri (commonly known as Mizzou) offers a range of scholarships. A notable one is the International Recognition Award, which is a competitive, merit-based scholarship for on-campus degree-seeking international students.

2. Missouri State University offers the International Excellence Scholarship which provides funding to high-achieving students with demonstrated leadership capability.

3. St. Louis University has the SLU Global Scholar Program which offers renewable merit-based scholarships for non-U.S. citizens.

Remember that the availability of scholarships can vary a lot from year to year and school to school. So, it's crucial to check out each school's international student office or financial aid website for the most accurate and current information. Also, some scholarships might require separate applications, so be sure to understand the details and deadlines.

In addition to university-offered scholarships, you can check out resources like Appily for a more comprehensive database of scholarships available to international students, including those not tied to a specific school. Some of these might have less competition because they're not as widely publicized as the school-specific scholarships. Make sure to apply early and often to increase your chances of receiving aid.
