Top Undergraduate Scholarships for International Students to Study in the US
1. Freshman Presidential Scholarships – Texas Tech University
These scholarships are awarded based on class rank and SAT score. If the student doesn’t have a class rank, our admission team will assign them one during the credential evaluation process based on their GPA. If the admitted student meets the academic requirements for one of the scholarship, they not only receive the scholarship, they also receive a waiver of the out-of-state tuition rate. That reduces the estimated cost of tuition and fees for one academic year from $23,012 to $10,772.
