Scholarships for International Students with Full Ride Options?

Hey everyone,

I came across a super helpful list of scholarships that international students can apply for. It’s an incredible time-saver for those trying to navigate the complex process of finding scholarships.

This resource includes a variety of universities and programs that offer up to full ride scholarships for eligible students. Shoutout to the original creator for compiling this!

Scholarship Lists:

  1. Google Sheets - 135 Universities
  2. Google Docs - Limited Universities

Best of luck with your applications!

Thanks so much for this!

Can you link the original post? I’d like to understand the color coding and other notations.

It was pulled from an old post’s comment section, but unfortunately, it didn’t include explanations for the asterisks or colors.

Got it, thanks for clarifying!

I think green is for full rides and amber is for full tuition.

Why aren’t universities like Harvard or MIT listed? Don’t they offer aid?

Harvard and MIT don’t offer merit scholarships because all admitted students are already highly qualified. Instead, they provide need-based financial aid to meet 100% of the demonstrated financial need for those admitted. So, the competition is just about getting into the school, not for the aid itself.

You’re awesome. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great list, but I noticed only the University of North Texas is listed for out-of-state tuition waivers. Many other Texas schools have similar programs.

Following this thread for updates.

This is amazing! I hope more international students find this helpful.

Lafayette and Lehigh both offer full-tuition scholarships. Worth checking out!

Does this list cover undergraduate, master’s, or PhD programs?

Are these scholarships merit-based? Do they require separate applications, or are they automatic when applying to the university?
