Scholarships

博天堂官方 offers scholarships to new and continuing international students each year.

  • The International Merit scholarship is a competitive scholarship awarded to new international students attending 博天堂官方 for the first time and for students who apply after their first three quarters of enrollment at 博天堂官方 with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher (international students are F-1 visa holders with their I-20 issued by 博天堂官方). This scholarship covers three credits per term of international student tuition for three terms. Students eligible for the Global Explorer scholarship may also apply for this scholarship. About 10 scholarships are awarded each year. Apply here!
  • The Global Explorer scholarship is automatically awarded to students who are citizens of countries on our annual list of countries that we would like to build representation from at 博天堂官方. Students from these countries will receive one credit of international tuition each of their first three terms at 博天堂官方 with no application needed. Students transferring to 博天堂官方 from a U.S. high school or college must be in good academic standing to receive this scholarship. Our 2023-24 Global Explorer countries are: Brazil, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan, Vietnam, Zimbabwe.
  • The Global Ambassador scholarship is a competitive scholarship awarded to about four students per year. It is open for application in the Spring to current international students (F-1 visa holders with their I-20 issued by 博天堂官方). This scholarship awards students with 6 credits of international tuition per term for the year and requires specific service to international programs, such as supporting new international students, helping with new international student recruitment, event planning, and social media for international programs. Students may not receive a Global Ambassador scholarship and an International Merit scholarship at the same time. Apply here!
