US Colleges and Universities that offer Scholarships for International Students 

Scholarships at American Universities
American University (AU) offers a limited number of generous partial merit scholarships to academically qualified international first-year undergraduate students from around the world. International students are not eligible for need-based financial aid. Merit scholarships range in value from $6,000 to $25,000 per academic year (renewable subject to conditions).

Scholarships at Amherst College
Amherst College currently operates a need-based financial aid program for financially needy international students. Your financial need is determined once you have been admitted. A financial aid award equal to your need will then be made available. Because it may include both self-help (employment) and gift aid, the award is sometimes referred to as a “aid package” (scholarships and grants).

Scholarships at Berea College
Berea College is the only school in the United States that provides full funding to all enrolled international students during their first year. This combination of financial aid and scholarships helps to cover the costs of tuition, room, and board. International students are expected to save $1,000 (US) per year in subsequent years to contribute to their expenses. International students are given summer jobs at the College in order to fulfill this requirement.

Scholarships at Clark University
Clark University’s Clark Global Scholars Program is open to first-year applicants (not transfer students) who have attended school abroad for at least four years, as well as international citizens studying in the United States. The award includes a scholarship of $15,000 to $25,000 per year (for four years, subject to meeting academic standards for renewal) as well as a guaranteed $2,500 taxable stipend for a paid internship or research assistantship taken for academic credit during the summer following your sophomore or junior year.

Scholarships for Colby-Sawyer College
Colby-Sawyer College offers merit-based financial aid to international students. The scholarship value rises with academic ability (as measured by GPA) and can range from $15,000 to $28,000 per year. The college does not meet all of the student’s financial needs.
