🇺🇸 United States · Scholarships
Scholarships and financial aid for studying in United States — government, university, and international programs.
Most funding for international students in the United States comes from the universities themselves — merit scholarships, fellowships and graduate teaching/research assistantships — rather than a single national scheme. The flagship US-government award is the Fulbright Foreign Student Program, administered by the State Department through Fulbright Commissions and US embassies; EducationUSA is the official State Department network that advises on choosing programmes and financing study.
- There is no single "US government scholarship" for general applicants — funding is decentralised across institutions, so start with each university's financial-aid and graduate-funding pages.
- The Fulbright Foreign Student Program funds graduate study and research for non-US citizens; you apply through the Fulbright Commission or US Embassy in your home country, not directly to a US university.
- Graduate teaching/research assistantships at US universities often waive tuition and pay a stipend — a primary funding route for master's and especially PhD students.
- EducationUSA centres (State Department) provide free, official advising on programmes and how to finance study.
