International student - Renaissance and Global scholarship

Hellooo :smiley:
I have received the invitation to attend the interview event of the Renaissance and Global scholarship a few days ago. However, I am concerned about the procedures to obtain the visa and so on … So, has any international student been through this before?

Hi, I’m kind of surprised you got the notification email a few days ago since I just got mine today. Where are you originally from? You can actually apply to the B1/B2 travelling visa to get to US. I’m also an international student but I’m attending high school in US so I’ve already got the F1/F2 student visa. Because there are only 60 students selected, I don’t think there will be too many people answering this thread. But feel free to email the admissions office anytime, they will definitely be glad to help you with any questions. Hope you can make it to the campus. Interview is super crucial to the full scholarship. Btw, you can find the schedule in detailed once you register your travel information on the portal. Good luck! See you next month!

I can say for 100% sure that at least one international student (probably lots!) has been through it before - my son’s best friend is not American, did not attend high school in the US, and is currently a Renaissance and Global scholar. He did make a trip to the US for the interview, I know that.
