Is anyone familiar with Wheeling University and their scholarship offerings for international students? I'm trying to gather some information on what kind of financial aid they provide to international applicants.
Wheeling University does have some scholarships available to all accepted students, including international ones. These scholarships are typically based on academic merit.
One of the main scholarships they provide every year is called the Presidential Scholarship, which typically ranges from $10,000 to full tuition per year and is renewable for four years, provided the student maintains a good academic standing.
Additionally, Wheeling University also offers the Competitive Excellence Scholarship, which is a special, invitation-only scholarship for standout students. It is a full-tuition scholarship and is offered to a limited number of students each year.
In addition to these scholarships, there are several endowed scholarships funded by alumni and friends of the University. The criteria for these scholarships can vary and may include financial need, academic performance, and/or specific area of study or hometown.
It's also worth noting that as an international student, you might not be eligible for need-based aid which is federal or state-funded. However, the university does work with international students to try and make their education as affordable as possible.
Be sure to check out the school's financial aid page or contact their financial aid office for the most accurate and current details about their scholarship offerings. Also, as an international student, make sure to explore scholarship opportunities in your home country that could be used for study in the U.S.
