How come some colleges only offer “request information” for international graduate programs only?
Also, if a college does not have a separate tab for international scholarships (or only have a tab for international graduate scholarship), does that mean that they don’t offer any? or does it mean that international students can apply for any scholarships offered at the campus?
Thanks.
There’s an International Admissions tab on all websites. But “request info” is the same for all freshmen, whether domestic or international.
If the scholarship eligibility don’t require “us citizen only” it typically means the scholarship is open to all applicants, but you can email admissions to ask about it.
What about for private universities? They usually don’t specify if you have to be a resident or not, and have no tabs for international scholarships. For example, USF; they only offer international graduate scholarships.
This works for public and private colleges:
Go to " Undergraduate admissions". OPen a new tab by clicking on “International”. Look at what’s there.
Then, click on “freshmen” and click on “scholarships”.
See if they state " Eligibility: US citizenship or permanent resident", then internationals can’t apply. If you don’t see that, email Admissions to check whether it means you can apply.
There rarely are special international scholarships, most often internationals are allowed to apply to the same merit scholarships as citizens and residents. If automatic for all (like at Truman State or UMW), they’re for all. If they’re competitive, your citizenship status may enter into the criteria reviewed but do not automatically disqualify you.
