Scholarships for International Students

The number of international students heading to the USA for college is at an all-time high. But despite the masses choosing to earn their degrees in the U.S., international students most likely aren’t eligible for U.S. federal student aid, which means options are limited when it comes to paying for college. (There are exceptions to this - someone on an international student visa, for example, may qualify for U.S. government-funded programs such as the Fulbright Program or opportunities through EducationUSA.)

Luckily, there are other alternatives out there. Scholarships for international students in the USA are available to help finance your education! And best of all, it’s free money – no repayment required. We’ve assembled a list to help you get started.
