I'm a high school junior looking into college options outside of my home country. Does anyone know if the University of the Ozarks offers scholarships specifically for international students? Any details on eligibility and application would be appreciated!
The University of the Ozarks indeed offers several scholarships for international students. One of the predominant ones is the International Student Scholarship, which provides financial aid based on academic success and the student's financial needs. The best part is, no separate application is required for this scholarship. All international students who apply to the university are automatically evaluated for it.
To give you a clearer idea, the scholarship award amounts for the 2024-25 academic year ranged from $6,000 up to $17,000 per year. The scholarship can be renewed annually, provided recipients maintain good academic standing and full-time enrollment status at the university.
There's also the Leadership Education & Development (LEAD) program at the University of the Ozarks which can offer a grant of $4,160 provided the applicants are willing to work minimum 12 hours per week.
Applicants need to submit a completed application, an official copy of their secondary school transcript – secondary school should be equivalent to a U.S. high school – and, for non-native English speakers, proof of English proficiency, like the TOEFL or IELTS.
Remember though, scholarships are competitive, and the funds are limited. It's wise to submit your application as early as possible to boost your chances. It's always a good idea to keep checking the school's official website or directly communicate with the University's Office of Financial Aid for any updates or new scholarship opportunities. Good luck with your applications!
