Aboutthis 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.
