Not all universities offer scholarships to international students and those that do only have a limited number of scholarships. The competition for these scholarships can be fierce. Typically there are thousands of students from all over the world competing for each scholarship. Many of these students have perfect SAT scores, excellent high school GPA and involvement in extracurricular activities. The average international students’ application for scholarship often gets lost amongst the applications of these overachieving international students.

This does not mean that the average international student has no chance for a scholarship at an US university. There are many universities and colleges in the United States that offer international students scholarships as long as they have decent academic performance in high school.

In-state Tuition
At most state universities, out of state students and international students
are assessed a higher tuition rate than students that live in that state. Often, this tuition is almost twice that of what local students pay. Many universities will offer their international students an opportunity to pay in-state tuition as long as they fulfill certain criteria. These can include maintaining a certain GPA while on the in-state tuition scholarship and/or doing volunteer activities. One such school that has an excellent in-state tuition scholarship for all its’ international students is Saint Cloud State University in Minnesota. The in-state tuition scholarship can make affording a. U.S. university very affordable for international students, especially for those that do not have outstanding results and achievements.
