<p>I am a foreign, non-resident, and I received the Presidential Scholarship. It is open to internationals. </p>
<p>Still, I believe there arent that many foreigners applying for this scholarship.</p>
<p>Someone asked why UA isn’t flooded with foreigners. </p>
<p>In Singapore, where I completed high school, only a handful of US public universities (like Berkeley, UCLA, and UIUC) are considered “good schools.”</p>
<p>My friends who had the stats for the presidential were admitted by Harvard, Brown, Vanderbilt and Colgate and Bard college (real life examples). And they all received awards at least equal, if not better than UA. I myself got admitted into Grinnell and Case Western. I wouldn’t have settled for UA had I not read posts on CC. </p>
