Does the University of Maine in Orono provide scholarships specifically for international students? I'm looking for information on the types of scholarships available and any specific application processes involved.
Yes, the University of Maine in Orono does offer scholarships for international students. There are a few different types available:
1. International Presidential Scholarship: This automatically applies to all new incoming students who apply by the February 1st early action deadline. Applicants must have a GPA of at least 3.0 and the scholarship ranges from $5,000 - $15,000 per academic year.
2. International Flagship Match Scholarship: This is available to Canadian and international students. The scholarship matches the tuition at the applicant's home state's flagship institution. Applicants need a minimum GPA of 3.0 to be considered.
3. International Dean’s Scholarship: This scholarship ranges from $2,000 to $10,000 per academic year and is automatically awarded to new incoming international undergraduate students based on their academic achievement.
The best part about these scholarships is that they automatically apply to all international students, so if you've applied for admission, you're also in the running for these scholarships. No additional application process is required for these scholarships. They are renewable yearly provided academic eligibility requirements are met.
Also, keep in mind that these scholarships can't be combined – students receive one or the other, but not multiple. They cannot also be combined with other tuition discount programs.
Aside from these, you might want to explore other external scholarships, grants, or check if your country has any educational partnerships with U.S. institutions. Good luck with your application!
