@tawhidkhn63 Usually your scholarship is considered part of your financial aid package. Meaning, Expected financial aid from NPC - 20K scholarship = what else you’ll get. It’s probably not a full ride if your NPC did not tell you you’re getting a full ride. Some of it will likely be in loan form. The lucky thing is that you can count on that 20K to be steady for all 4/5 years, and it isn’t loans you have to pay back.

their admit rate is 30% @ASAPJAZZY

General Comments & Advice:
Accepted to Business School and invited to Honors Program! However, only received a 15K annual scholarship. Anybody here aware of a way to win more money for international students?
@Suj170499 You are lucky to win any money at all. US colleges rarely give any money to international students.
@tawhidkhn63 Thanks! But is there no way to get more money? If I go there can I apply for more scholarships to cover other parts of the cost? As much as I am grateful of the scholarship I received, I will need more to have access to an American university.
@Suj170499 They already gave you 15k scholarship. I do not think they will give you anymore scholarships. US colleges will definitely not give you any financial aid. This is why only the wealthy kids from foreign countries can afford an American education. I’m sorry but you would need to get a job, have your parents pay, or take out loans to afford an education here. Maybe an European education would better for you since your countries gives you ultra cheap higher education.
