Does anyone know of good scholarships for international students wanting to study in the U.S.? I'm trying to find ways to fund my education, and any recommendations or advice would be super helpful!
Certainly, there are several scholarships that international students can avail themselves of to study in the U.S. Here are five examples:
1. Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program: This scholarship is designed specifically for individuals from developing countries who are willing to pursue a Master's degree relevant to economic development at any university around the world, including the U.S.
2. Rotary Peace Fellowships: These fellowships fund master's degree programs in peace and development studies. You can take these programs at one of the Rotary Peace Centers, which are in several countries including the U.S.
3. Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowships: These are a kind of non-degree scholarships for professionals committed to public service. Although they don't lead to a degree, recipients can study and gain professional experience at U.S. universities.
4. Fulbright Foreign Student Program: This is a prestigious scholarship program of the U.S. Department of State, which supports master's and PhD studies at U.S. universities for students from around 155 countries. However, this program is for postgraduate study.
5. Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship Programme: This programme provides a limited number of scholarships to outstanding students from select developing countries, who have no other means of financing their postgraduate studies. Be aware that this scholarship is also for postgraduate studies only.
In addition to these, your target schools might also have their individual scholarships for international students. It would be worth reaching out to their financial aid offices to ask about these.
Remember that these are just a few examples, and there are many more opportunities out there! Different scholarships have different eligibility criteria and application procedures, so take time to find the ones that would be best for your goals.
