Overview

Applications are open for various scholarships for college students in the United States for the 2027-28 academic session. These opportunities are available for undergraduate, master's, and PhD degree programs and are open to international students, including those from Ethiopia.

Coverage

Both fully funded and partially funded scholarships are available. Fully funded scholarships may cover complete tuition fees, room and board, a stipend for living expenses, and an allowance for academic materials. Partially funded scholarships may cover partial tuition costs, book allowances, and one-time academic grants. It is important to note that some scholarships may not cover personal expenses, travel, or health insurance.

Eligibility

These scholarships are open to US citizens, permanent residents, and international students. To be eligible, applicants generally must be admitted to an accredited US college or university, maintain a good academic record, and demonstrate either financial need or academic merit. You may not qualify if you are not enrolled in an eligible program, do not meet the required academic standards, or miss the application deadline.

Requirements

Specific requirements vary by scholarship program. Generally, applicants need to be admitted to an accredited US college or university, maintain a good academic record, and demonstrate financial need or merit. Required documents are not clearly stated for this general overview, but typically include academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, essays, and proof of admission.

How to apply

Application deadlines vary significantly depending on the specific scholarship program. Many national scholarships typically open in the fall and close between October and March for the following academic year. Institutional scholarships offered by universities may have earlier deadlines. Applicants are advised to check directly with their chosen university’s financial aid office for specific application procedures and deadlines.

Notes

Scholarships are awarded based on various criteria, including merit (for high academic achievers), financial need, athletic performance, specific fields of study (such as STEM, nursing, or business), minority status (including African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, Asian American, and LGBTQ+ students), and special talents in areas like arts, leadership, or community service.
