<p>What other schools have FULL scholarships for internationals? I'm talking about something like the Trustee Scholarship at Boston University. They don't have to be exclusively for internationals, obviously.</p>
<p>Any other examples?</p>
<p>Camras Scholarship : Illinois Institute of Technology
but it requires an interview</p>
<p>Carleton College, I can't think of any others right now.
You could do a web search, or visit the websites for the various schools.</p>
<p>I think even Tulane has a couple</p>
<p>Drexel has almost full..maybe around 2000$ less</p>
<p>yeah, also University of Virginia, they have full rides for 3-10 intl students each year</p>
<p>university of miami gives full tuition</p>
<p>Wash Uni in St Louis gives full tuition + $1000 for 12 entering fresh/wo/men annually. You have to submit a separate application, essays, 2 teachers rec, transcript etc. I'm being lazy but will do mine as soon as my exams are over. But then, since it's for domestic+internationals, the chances are likely to be incredibly low.</p>
<p>Any more?</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know how competitive these scholarships are?</p>
<p>Brandeis Wien Intl scholarships. Vanderbilt also has some full-tuition schols open for Intl as well as domestics. Bard in New York. Cooper Union in New York.</p>
<p>hey this is a good list:
1) Boston University** - Trustee scholarship (fulltuition), University Scholars (half Tuition)
2) Illinois Institute of Technology* - Camras Scholarship upto full expenses
3) Carleton College
4) Drexel : I think max of $26000
5) University of Miami** - Full tuition
6) University of Virginia<em>,</em>** - Full expenses (Thomas Jefferson Scholar)
7) WUSTL*** - Full Tuition + room and board
8) Brandies Wien Intl Scholarship
9) Vanderbilt**
10) Bard in NY
11) Cooper Union
12) Tulane university**</p>
<p>*** = Extremely Competitive
**= Competitive
*= Requires interview (but in the case of UVa the college sponsors your visit :))</p>
<p>I would say Cooper Union is extremely competetive too</p>
<p>Don't forget Harvard, Marvard schools...</p>
<p>Howard is also an option. they give full rides.</p>
<p>wustl gives the Olin scholarship.. covers tuition
wustl even has the dansforth scholarship - full tuition.</p>
<p>no extra essays or anything required for either. but ur school has to reccommed you for the dansforth</p>
<p>Hmmm...have you folks actually looked at the web sites for some of the schools you are listing here?</p>
<p>Washington U's web site says clearly "There are no scholarships or financial aid available for international students." Here's the link:
<a href="http://hap.wustl.edu/intstudents.html%5B/url%5D">http://hap.wustl.edu/intstudents.html</a> If there's another link somewhere on their site saying there are scholarships for internationals, please pass it along to me via PM.</p>
<p>Howard's web site says : no financial aid or scholarships until after your first year: <a href="http://www.provost.howard.edu/PROVOST/bulletin2/uinfo/bull_ug_financl_infov2_f.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.provost.howard.edu/PROVOST/bulletin2/uinfo/bull_ug_financl_infov2_f.htm</a></p>
<p>The University of Virginia offers ONE full ride Jefferson Scholarship to internationals each year. Three students are picked from all international applicants to be flown in to compete for that one scholarship. It's a great deal, but the chances of receiving it are astronomical. UVA does have some other smaller scholarships available for internationals, however.</p>
<p>Carleton does offer six full scholarships for internationals, but they are mainly limited to students from Asia. The six they do have are extremely competitive.</p>
<p>Tulane offers financial aid of up to $15,000 a year to internationals and has a single merit scholarship that internationals can apply for. it is based on leadership and is not a full ride.</p>
<p>Cooper Union waives the cost of tuition for all students. However, fees plus room and board add up to $18,000 a year and no financial assistance is available for that. Additionally, Cooper is EXTREMELY selective, about on par with Harvard, and only offers three majors: engineering, architecture, and art. </p>
<p>And, Harvard does not offer merit scholarships for tuition at all, only aid based on financial need.</p>
<p>Don't mean to bash anyone here, but please try and check the facts before listing schools as having "full tuition merit scholarships" for internationals.</p>
<p>^hey
maybe you might wanna do your research first</p>
<p>that link for washu is the SCHOOL OF MEDICENE
WHICH IS A GRADUATE SCHOOL. doh.
the policies for the undergrad school are considerably different.
i got the Olin scholarship- full tuition, and i am very much international.</p>
<p>in fact, im going through my finaid packet right now and it says ONLY international students are eligible for the Olin Scholarship. it says, "should you become a permanent resident of the US during your stay, the terms of your scholarship will be considerably changed.."</p>
<p>i also personally saw my pricipal send in my nomination for the Dansforth scholarship.</p>
<p>love,
flameybaby</p>
<p>carolyn-</p>
<p>i didnt mean to be rude or anything.. and i've been going thru your other posts and you have been very helpful</p>
<p>tried editting my post.. admins won't let me...</p>
<p>nasty mood... didnt mean to bite ur head off.</p>
<p>flamethrower, Thanks for catching my mistake! You are absolutely right --- wrong site. Here is the correct one for WUSTL for undergraduates and, as you noted, they have very good financial aid and scholarships available for internationals:</p>
<p>I did go back and double check and the other links and information are correct for undergraduates.</p>
<p>I'm glad you caught this because I believe it is VITAL for internationals, especially, to have the correct information. If you read the thread about Internationals being accepted into the Ivy's, you will quickly see how disappointing it can be to apply to a US University without the correct information about what type of aid is available...and then to get in and find out you can not afford to go. </p>
<p>My advice to internationals: take what is listed here as only the BEGINNING of your research. I have found that when I email the admissions representatives for international students at various colleges and universities they are VERY willing to answer questions about what type of assistance is available, what the average financial aid package is, and what type of scholarships are available for internationals. I suggest that, once you have a list of schools in the US that you think fit your needs, you take the time to email the international admissions representative (can find names and emails on the web sites of colleges). This will not, in any way, hinder your chances of getting in; In fact, it may increase it by establishing a relationship with the person who will be representing you before the admissions committee.</p>
<p>By the way, two schools to add to this list that offer full tuition merit scholarships for internationals:</p>
<p>Hollins University in Virginia (women only)</p>
<p>Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania (co-ed)</p>
<p>Both are good schools but not extremely deadly in terms of admissions, so your chances of both getting in and have a shot at the scholarships is quite good. Hollins is particularly strong for history, biology, English literature, and psychology. Susquehanna is excellent for business, journalism, computer science and has an honors program as well.</p>
<p>Additionally, I'd suggest looking into merit scholarship opportunities at Lawrence U, the College of Wooster, and Clark University. All three are terrific schools that warmly welcome international applications and offer solid financial aid to internationals as well.</p>
