About this document This document presents a survey of 70 colleges and universities across the United States of America that offer need- and/or merit-based scholarships to undergraduate international students. The list of institutions included is not comprehensive; it is meant to represent a diverse list of large, small, private and public institutions that can serve as a starting point for students as they explore scholarship opportunities. Listed in alphabetical order, each entry includes basic profile information about the institution, information related to acceptance rates and standardized testing requirements, and information of available grants and scholarships. The scholarship information is subject to change, and students are highly encouraged to review or request additional information from institutions of interest. Students are also encouraged to request information on SAT Subject Test requirements for institutions, since these requirements can vary by major or by school. This document was inspired by the author's interviews with high school students who live in Mandra Attikis, Greece, who expressed their wish to find a way to study abroad in the United States. The interviews were conducted as part of the author's grade 9/10 school project to assess Greek students' college and career aspirations in the context of their country's economic recession.

UA merit scholarships are open to all students and international students have the same opportunity to compete just as their domestic counterparts. International incoming first time freshmen who meet the December 15 scholarship priority deadline, have a qualifying score on the ACT or SAT and have at least a 3.5 cumulative high school GPA are eligible for the following merit-based scholarships: Capstone, Collegiate, Foundation in Excellence, UA Scholar and Presidential ranging from $6,000-$26,000 per year. These scholarships are awarded automatically based on an applicant's GPA and test scores. Students who submit a scholarship application and all required supporting documents by the deadline may also be eligible for limited university and departmental scholarships. International students are also eligible for the Academic Elite Scholarships (8 academic elite scholars are named each year), which are awarded for 4 years.
