International Student Scholarships


The LSA Scholarships Office awards a small number of International Student Scholarships each year to first-year incoming LSA students. This year we will be including international transfer students in this pool of students to review. These awards will be renewable for two or four years of study (depending on your admittance status) and recipients are selected based on information provided through their scholarship application and their undergraduate admissions application. 

International students admitted to the College of LSA should complete the International Student Scholarship application as soon as possible to ensure they are considered for these limited opportunities. 

We know that financial considerations can be a significant factor in choosing which school to attend. All scholarship offers will be sent by April 15, before the LSA enrollment deadline, allowing you to make an informed financial decision. Read on to learn more about our International Student Scholarships and the application process for incoming international students. 

For qualified LSA students, the International Student Scholarship helps to cover the cost of attendance. 

Award amounts can go up to 25,000 USD. All International Student Scholarships are renewable for two or four years (depending on admittance status) of undergraduate study, provided students maintain eligibility by completing their requirements each academic year.

The International Student Scholarship Application for the 2024-25 academic year is now open. 

Please note: Students must be accepted to the College of LSA to apply. Our office will begin evaluating applications on a "rolling basis" versus waiting to review all applications after the hard deadline. Early determinations will be made and while there are no guarantees to awarding, the odds for applicants to be awarded increases with an early submission. Students who wait until the final deadline to apply may be disappointed to find that all of the scholarships have already been awarded. We encourage you to apply early!

To qualify for an International Student Scholarship, a student:

  • Must be an incoming first-year or transfer undergraduate student admitted to a degree program in the College of LSA. Students will be considered even if they have not yet enrolled.
  • Must NOT be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.
  • Must be enrolled (or intend to enroll) full-time (12 credit hours or more) each term.
