International Student Scholarships
The LSA Scholarships Office awards a small number of International Student Scholarships each year to first-year incoming LSA students. These awards will be renewable for four years of study. Recipients are selected based on information provided through their scholarship application and their undergraduate admissions application.
The College of LSA continues to see an increase in the number of admitted international students from previous years. In the process of selecting recipients, we honor the intentions of our generous donors who fund these scholarships.
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
Award amounts can go up to 25,000 USD. All International Student Scholarships are renewable for four years of undergraduate study, provided students maintain eligibility by completing their requirements each academic year.
Application Deadline
The deadline to apply is April 15. Our office will begin evaluating applications on a "rolling basis" Applying early increases a student’s chances of being matched with a scholarship.
We understand how the cost of higher education will affect your decisions with regards your educational journey. Award notifications will be sent by April 18, before the LSA's enrollment deadline.
