Is it possible to get full scholarships in USA for BSCS?

Can someone explain if it’s realistic to get a 100% scholarship for studying BSCS in the USA? I got 8 A/A* in O levels and 3 A in AS levels. My extracurriculars include being part of my school and college cricket team, and I represented my college at the district level. Does this give me a good chance for a fully funded scholarship?

Honestly, no, it’s not that easy.

Why not? Are my extracurriculars not good enough?

It’s not really about your extracurriculars. Fully funded scholarships are just really competitive and rare.

It’s hard to say. Full scholarships are mostly awarded based on exceptional academic achievements and sometimes outstanding extracurriculars.

I see. Do I need to join more activities or sports to have a better chance?

It might help, but the main thing is to make sure your grades are excellent and you stand out in some way.

You could try applying to multiple schools and programs. Some universities have better scholarship options for international students.

Do you know which universities are more likely to give full scholarships?

@Vic
Check out universities like Harvard, MIT, or even state schools with good funding for international students. But competition is very high.

You might want to work on your personal statement. That can sometimes make a big difference.

Focus on what makes you unique, your goals, and how you’ll contribute to the university community. Try to tell a story that’s personal to you.
