Scholarships for International Students

October 22nd, 2012 by Jennifer Frankel

Studying in a foreign country is full of challenges. For many, one of the biggest of those challenges is finding a way to pay for the education. Many international students are not eligible for federal aid and many schools require that you prove your ability to pay for part or all of the school’s tuition up front. This is why scholarships for international students are so important. They offer a way for bright students to study in the US who may have otherwise been unable to afford it.

If you are interested in finding scholarships for international students, you can search through our list here. This list is a great place to search through all sorts of scholarships quickly and easily. You can narrow your search by what you are studying, where you are studying, and where you are from, which can really help narrow down the results to the scholarships that are best suited to you.

If you find a scholarship you are interested in you will just have to click on the “information” button (which is to the right and looks like the letter “i”) where you will find a more complete description of what is offered and what is required from you to qualify. Then, if you decide that you want to apply, you just need create a quick username and password.

My son has two more semesters left to complete his degree in Game Design and Programming. However, we are running into financial difficulty. We are trying to locate a scholarship that can fund his last two semesters totaling $13,995.00. He is graduating June 13, 2013. He currently has a 3.6 GPA. Please help! What scholarships are out there? Please advise. Thanks, Lisa

Alsalamu Alykum,

Fortunately,I was accepted at FIT(Florida Institute of Technology),but according to the lack of fund,I’ll start in Spring 2013.

I wonder if you can help me..

P.S: I’m an international student and FIT gave me a scholarship (14.000$),but I have to afford 34.000.

Best regards.
Shahinda
