Can I apply for outside scholarships (or any scholarship) after my F-1 visa has already been issued?

So…where will you be applying for scholarships?

  1. It’s very late in the season to be applying for 2018-2019.
  2. If you were planning to apply for scholarships in the U.S. I would say your chances are close to zero of getting one because most awarded here are for U.S. citizens, most consider financial need (which if you are full pay at a UC, you don’t have), and and most deadlines have long since passed.
