I'm considering applying to the University of North Florida and heard they might have scholarships for international students. Any insights on eligibility requirements or the application process for these would be awesome!
The University of North Florida (UNF) offers several scholarships specifically for international students. It's fantastic that you're exploring these opportunities.
The International Student Grant is one such scholarship. This scholarship is based on financial need and can cover up to $2,000 per year. To be considered eligible, you must be an incoming international student with a non-resident status. The F-1 or J-1 visa is also required. The criteria for this scholarship include a demonstration of financial need and academic achievement. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply.
The UNF also hosts the MAWA scholarship (Make a Wave in America). This is a merit-based scholarship for incoming undergraduate freshman and transfer students. It's renewable for up to $5,000 per year. To qualify, students must have a minimum GPA of 2.5 and a TOEFL score of at least 80.
Remember that available scholarships can change, and the university often updates its scholarship offerings. It's best to check UNF's international student page or reach out to the international student services office for the most current information. They may also have additional resources available to help you in the application process. Good luck with your applications!
