Most universities offer substantial financial aid to students. Among other options, the most affordable way to financing your studies is through a scholarship. Let's take a look at some of these top scholarships for international students.

At number one we have the need-based scholarships. These scholarships are reserved for students which are of course looking at financial aid. It's an excellent opportunity for students struggling to make ends meet. Many universities offer need-based scholarships and this is exclusively for international students, for example, Howard offers a total scholarship worth $46k, New York University offers scholarships worth $47k. Cornell University also has a great scholarship fund of over $49k. You can even find out about other scholarships that are being offered by different universities by simply heading to their website.

Next on our list are the privately funded scholarships. Scholarships funded by private organizations are a viable option for international students. However, most of these scholarships have strict eligibility criteria. For example, there are some scholarships only for women and then there are some scholarships which are reserved for a certain area of study and there are some scholarships which are set aside just for Indian student aspirants.

Next up we have the merit-based scholarships. when considering a college scholarship it's these kinds of scholarships that come first to your mind. And if you are wondering how you can get a merit-based scholarship, then it's usually if you're very proficient or if you excel in any kind of academics or sports.

Next, we will be talking about the different kinds of merit-based scholarships. The first one is the sports scholarships, these scholarships lie in the category of athletic scholarships regulated by NAIA and JCAA and NCA. These scholarships can be fiercely competitive. Also, there are several rules regarding how students can receive these scholarships. Regardless of the conditions, sports scholarships are excellent for international students especially the ones who are athletes and who are hoping to study in the US.

Academic scholarships - These scholarships are awarded based on outstanding academic performance. They are funded by private organizations, colleges, and universities. Students with excellent grades in their programs are definitely eligible for this scholarship.

At number three we have the average academic scholarships. No, it doesn't mean that you have to be an average student to receive an average academic scholarship. It takes more than high grades and standardized test scores to get an average academic scholarship. For this type of scholarship or grant, students are evaluated based on their overall performance. Universities also take into account factors such as community service, extracurricular activities.

Next up we have the government-funded scholarships. The US government provides many scholarships to international students in order to promote the internationalization of their education system.

Funding can be an enormous challenge for many international students who wish to study abroad. Not to mention, apply for admission and scholarship, getting a visa, setting up accommodation, all of this takes a lot of time and effort.
