Do scholarships for international students require separate applications, or am I automatically considered when I apply to the university?
It depends on the university and the type of scholarship. Some universities automatically consider all international applicants for merit-based scholarships when you submit your application, so you don’t need to fill out a separate form. However, many scholarships—especially fully-funded, need-based, or country-specific awards—require a separate application with additional documents like essays, recommendation letters, or proof of financial need.
It’s also important to note that some scholarships have early deadlines that are earlier than the university’s admission deadline. Missing these deadlines could mean you aren’t considered, even if you’re admitted to the program.
