USA Government Scholarships for International Students
Foreign Fulbright Student ProgramThe Fulbright Program are full scholarships in USA for international
students who wants to pursue a Master’s or PhD degree. The scholarships
can also be awarded for non-degree postgraduate studies. The grant
covers tuition fee, textbooks, airfare, a living stipend, and health
insurance.
Humphrey Fellowship ProgramThe Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program provides a year of
professional enrichment in the United States for experienced
professionals from designated countries throughout the world. Fellows
are selected based on their potential for leadership and their
commitment to public service in either the public or private sector.
The fellowships are full grants covering all related expenses.
US Colleges and Universities that offer Scholarships for International Students
Each year, the University of Oregon awards more than one million dollars
in financial aid and scholarships to international students at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels. One of their scholarship programs is
the ICSP Scholarship
which awards 30–40 competitive scholarships to international students
each year. Selected ICSP students receive a tuition-waiver scholarship
ranging from $7,500 – $30,000.
Wesleyan University offers very limited scholarships for international
students and is awarded on the basis of both exceptional qualifications
and demonstrated need. In addition to the 11 Asian students who are
awarded yearly under the Freeman Asian Scholars Program,
the University provides financial assistance to approximately 15
international students from a pool of over 400 such applicants.
The Lotus Scholarship is awarded to students who achieve high academic
standards and demonstrate a financial need in order to attend University
of the West (UWest). The Scholarship awards up to $5,000 or up to
$10,000 annually to each successful applicant to apply toward his or her
tuition, mandatory fees, room and board, and other expenses required
for attendance at UWest.
Amherst College currently runs a need-based financial aid program that
provides assistance to financially needy international students. Once
you have been admitted, your financial need is determined. A financial
aid award that is equal to your need will then be offered. The award is
sometimes called an “aid package” because it may include both self-help
(employment) and gift aid (scholarships and grants).
Berea College is the only school in the United States that provides 100%
funding to 100% of enrolled international students for the first year
of enrollment. This combination of financial aid and scholarships
offsets the costs of tuition, room, board, and fees. In subsequent
years, international students are expected to save $1,000 (US) per year
to contribute toward their expenses. The College does provide summer
jobs to international students so that they may meet this obligation.
Clark University offers the Global Scholars Program which are
open to first-year applicants (not a transfer student) who has attended
school overseas for at least four years as well as international
citizens attending school in the United States. A scholarship of no less
than $5,000 per year ($20,000 for four years, contingent upon meeting
academic standards for renewal) and a guaranteed $2,500 taxable stipend
for a paid internship or research assistantship taken for academic
credit during the summer following your sophomore or junior year is
included with the award.
