Scholarships for International Students to Study in the U.S.?

I'm trying to find information on scholarships available for international students who want to study in the U.S. Are there specific scholarships I should look at, and what's the application process like? Any tips for increasing my chances of success?

There are indeed several scholarships available for international students who wish to study in the U.S. Here are a few notable ones:

1. "Fulbright Foreign Student Program": This is open to postgraduate students who want to study, conduct research, or exercise their talents in the U.S. The application process varies by country, but it usually involves submitting an online application along with your academic transcripts, exam results, essays and letters of recommendation.

2. "Aga Khan Foundation's International Scholarship Programme": This is a postgraduate scholarship program for students from select developing countries. It's a competitive scholarship program that provides a limited number of scholarships each year. Applicants must submit a complete application, including evidence of financial need, academic records and letters of recommendation.

3. "Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program (JJ/WBGSP)": This program funds graduate degrees for students from World Bank member countries to study in various fields including education, health, agriculture, and more. Applicants must apply both to the World Bank, through their online application process, and to their chosen U.S. university.

Increase your chances of success by focusing on your academic achievements, leadership experiences, and clear career goals in your application. Tailor your application to the specific criteria and goals of the scholarship organization. For example, if the scholarship is offered by an organization promoting global leadership, discuss your relevant experiences and future plans related to leadership.

Lastly, always meet the application deadlines. Late applications are frequently disqualified, so start your application processes as early as possible. Tools like Appily can also help you search for more scholarships and remind you of deadlines.

Remember, applying for scholarships is a numbers game – the more you apply to, the higher your chances of winning one. All the best!
