Am I eligible for an international scholarship?

Eligibility for a scholarship is entirely dependent on the scholarship; there is no general rule of thumb for determining whether you are eligible for a financial award. Some scholarships require students to have a certain TOEFL score; others require you to be from a specific country; and still others require you to have a certain grade point average. You must conduct your own research to determine whether you are eligible for a scholarship. It can be confusing, but keep in mind that college admissions officers and financial aid experts are there to help you get the most money possible.

How do I apply?

As with eligibility, there are no hard and fast rules for applying for scholarships. While some only require you to fill out an application form, others may require a specially written piece of work or that you be studying in a specific field. If you find a scholarship for which you believe you are eligible, contact the award administrator. All of the scholarships found in the InternationalStudent.com Scholarship search include the award administrator’s contact information.
