What is an International Student Scholarship?
Every year, the LSA Scholarships Office awards scholarships to newly admitted international students in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA). These scholarships are renewable for two to four years. The scholarships are awarded based on the University of Michigan LSA College application, student grades, and whether the family needs financial assistance to pay for school.
Students can log in and apply for the International Student Scholarship after they receive their admission letter (Early Decision, Early Action, or Regular Decision).
What does the scholarship cover?
For qualified LSA students, the International Student Scholarship helps to cover the cost of attendance for Fall and Winter terms.
Amounts and Duration
The amount of each scholarship is different. On average, students receive $19,000 (U.S. Dollars). All International Student Scholarships can be renewed for two to four years of undergraduate study. If students continue to meet the requirements, International Student Scholarships automatically renew before each fall semester.
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for an International Student Scholarship, a student must:
- Be a newly admitted transfer or first-year student who is accepted into a degree program in the College of LSA for the Fall term.
- NOT be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.
- Be enrolled (or planning to enroll) as a full-time student (12 or more credit hours each term).
Application Timeline
The annual deadline to apply is April 15. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applying early increases your chances of being matched with a scholarship.
All scholarship notices are sent before May 1, LSA's enrollment deadline.
