How to find fellowships for studying in the US?

I'm a high school junior and I'm interested in finding out more about fellowships for international students planning to study in the US. Does anyone know of resources or organizations that can help with this?

Finding fellowships as an international student who's planning to study in the U.S. can be a challenging but fulfilling pursuit. Here are some strategies you might consider:

Firstly, researching specific university resources can be helpful. Several U.S. universities offer fellowships or scholarships specifically for international students at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. University websites often list these opportunities in the financial aid or admissions sections.

Secondly, utilizing fellowship and scholarship search platforms is important in widening your search. Appily, for example, is a platform where students can filter scholarships by a range of factors including those specifically available to international students.

Thirdly, look into intergovernmental organizations such as The United Nations and The World Bank. Both offer fellowships or scholarships for international students who wish to study in the U.S.

In terms of organizations, the Institute of International Education (IIE) administers several fellowship programs including the Fulbright Program, however, take note that the Fulbright Program is for postgraduate study.

The final note is that the process might be competitive and rigorous, so start researching as early as you can, and you will have a higher chance of finding the right opportunity for you. Don't limit yourself to financial support but also seek opportunities that enrich your educational experience and expand your professional network. Good luck!
