<p>I'm an international interested to pursue a PhD in biological sciences. I found a scholarship in UC Berkeley specifically offered to students coming from the university I am studying in. It covers the tuition and offers a small amount of stipend. </p>

<p>The program I am interested in only admitted a couple of internationals (3-4 I think) last year and it is definitely a reach for me. However, I think I should be competitive among the students from my school. My question is, does such a scholarship will make me easier to get in? </p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>Having funding will definitely help. Make this known to the admission committees, if you don’t know if you will win the fellowship, let the schools you apply to know that you have applied and when you will know for sure.</p>
