Scholarship of up to $1,000 available for International Students

Global Scholarships’ mission is to make scholarships accessible and transparent, and they would like to take one step closer to the mission by offering an external scholarship for a prospective international student. There are currently very few external scholarships that are specifically for international students, and they want to make scholarships more accessible for international students by offering this scholarship.

This is the debut year for this scholarship, so there are no previous winners, but they hope to increase the amount and/or the number of scholarships awarded in the next several years.

GlobalScholarships.com $1,000 scholarship is for the Fall 2024 studies and is offered to any eligible prospective or current international student studying in Fall 2024. By international students, they mean students studying in a country where they are not a citizen or permanent resident. This scholarship is offered to all postsecondary degree programs, which are diploma, Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, Ph.D, as well as professional programs like law and medicine.

If Selected as Winner

• The winner must agree to be featured on the “Past Winners” Page, with their picture, their name, their institution, and a short bio. Also, they must agree for them to feature them on the social media channels.

What they look for in a candidate?

• They are looking to give this scholarship to a student who has best maximized their potential given their circumstances and will continue to maximize their potential in the future. By “maximizing their potential given their circumstances,” a student who comes from an affluent family and has maximized their potential in one way or another is just as qualified for this scholarship as a student from an impoverished family who also has done the same.
• They take more of a holistic approach in giving this scholarship, with a combination of merit, writing skills, and the essay describing what they look for in a candidate. They take financial needs into consideration only in the light of “maximizing their potential given their circumstances.”
