Scholarships & Financial Aid Information for International Students

This webpage contains information on government agencies, private organizations, internet websites and publications that can provide information to help you locate possible funding.

• Seek possible financial aid at the offices of sponsored research institutions, international student adviser(s) and financial aid counselor(s), as well as your department bulletin board.
• Contact as many scholarship sources as possible. The list of funds below specifies address and telephone number of most sources. Call or write them and ask that an information kit be mailed to you.
• Pay close attention to all rules and procedures of each source you intend to apply for.
• Most sources have deadlines. Contact them several months in advance of the published deadline. Expect a long waiting period between your application and the onset of funding.
• Work carefully and thoroughly on your curriculum vitae (CV). This is your personal "business card" in the effort to gain funding and assistance.
• Your own government may have financial aid available. Usually this support requires that you return home directly after your education is complete.
• There may also be private organizations in your home country that provide support for study in the US. Most major universities will have information available.
• Some US schools have direct exchange programs with their counterparts in foreign countries. Such exchange programs often include financial aid for the international student. To find out about these programs, ask your local university.
• Fulbright scholarships are awarded to approximately 4,700 students worldwide each year. For information about the Fulbright Program, contact the US Embassy or Consulate in your country or the IIE directly (see below).
