$800 Scholarship Money for International Students

With the US economy at one of its lowest points in a number of years, scholarship money is hard to come by, especially for international students. Colleges are cutting down on spending to protect themselves from the weak economy. However, there are still a number of scholarships available for international students from independent companies and institutions that have traditionally been friends to international students in the United States. One such company is University Language Services (ULS).

This year ULS is offering three scholarships to international students that are currently enrolled in US colleges or will be enrolled as of October 1, 2009. This means that students that are not currently in the US but will begin studies in the Fall are also eligible to apply. Applicants must have studied outside the US for at least two years, they must fill out an entry form and submit an essay no longer than 1000 words on the following topic:

“When you arrived in the US after studying for two or more years in another country, what did you expect from your US college, university or high school? Have your expectations been met?”

The winner will receive $500 and three runners up will receive $100 each. The deadline to submit your essay and entry form is February 28, 2009. Click here to visit the website of ULS for more information and do let us know if you are selected as one of the winners. Good luck.
