I have 9A’s "level, 5AS A’s, awaiting A2 results.I’m currently sitting for Ielts and intend to do SAT this October. I want to study chemical engineering, but mechanical engineering is also an option. In top 100-200universities, what are my chances of getting scholarships of 100% or close to that? Is there anything I can do to achieve this?
For studying in U.S.A in mechanical or chemical engineering, what are the basic requirements or usual that a student must have to earn scholarships above 60%? Please share your views.
Without you SAT score…it is very hard to give you any info about potential acceptances. And this could have an impact on your financial aid for college. Some schools don’t give aid to international students…at all. Some give less aid thanfor U.S. citizens…and some give the same aid.
Some schools don’t give merit aid to international students. Some do.
At this point…without an SAT score…it’s impossible to even guess where you could get accepted with significant financial aid to attend.
BUT I will add…getting 100% funding for college is not an easy thing to do…and is not something even U.S. citizens can easily do here. It’s even harder for international students.
With Sat score around 1400, can I get scholarship around 70-80%?
Unlikely at most schools, but the truth is not many schools give scholarships of that amount anyway. A few do, so you’ll have to look for them. There are schools that give scholarships of 1/3 or even 1/2 tuition, but that still leaves room and board, the other half of tuition, travel, fees, insurance, books.
It sounds like you need almost everything covered. Look at some of the schools in the south like Alabama, Florida A&M, Louisiana. Look at the (new!) pinned page of scholarships at the top of this Forum for ideas of schools that do have large merit awards, but pay attention to whether you have to be a US citizen for them.
Honestly, the US is not the cheapest place to go to college.
70-80% of what amount?
How much can your parents actually contribute to your college costs?
You are an international student who hasn’t yet taken the SAT. Without that key piece of information…there is no way to answer your question.
