This web page was updated January 2025.
We have seen the demand for information about "international scholarships." We have received requests at our website for this type of information. Although, we are NOT experts on financial aid, we have come across some information that may be of help to students from outside the United States that are looking for scholarships to attend college in the United States. Also, we have seen scholarships that may help American students be able to study abroad.
Although there are scholarship search services and listings of scholarships for international students, one source for scholarships for international students is the college or university that the student wants to attend. Many colleges have special funds to encourage students from abroad to study at their university. Please contact the university of your choice in order to see what kind of financial aid that is available for you.
We need to remind you to PLEASE watch out for SCAMS. We do NOT endorse any of the following resources, but there are a number of listings of scholarships that may be able to help, BUT you need to be careful of what is being offered.
International Scholarships.com: "The International Scholarship Search is the premier financial aid, college scholarship and international scholarship resource for students wishing to study abroad. At this site, you will find the most comprehensive listing of grant."
The International Education Financial Aid website, IEFA.org, "is the premier internet resource listing financial aid information for students who wish to study in a foreign country. Here, you will find the most comprehensive listing of grants, scholarships, loan programs and other information to assist students in their quest to study abroad. Our mission is to "promote international education worldwide through the development and publication of the most comprehWensive database of International Education Financial Aid information available on the Internet."

International Scholarship Opportunities for Canadians and Non-Canadians: "Canada is committed to participation in international study and research partnerships that build understanding among peoples, develop global citizens and leaders, and contribute to the development of nations. Global Affairs Canada is responsible for the Government of Canada's participation in major International Scholarship Programs. Global Affairs Canada provides support to international scholars in Canada, which is often reciprocated by foreign governments which support Canadian scholars in their countries."

Funding for US Study includes all types of funding programs, for all levels of post-secondary study, across the full range of academic areas."

YouTube Video: How to Find College Grants and Scholarships is a short six-minute video that gives you an overall look at where to find college grants and scholarships in the United States. If you have no idea on where to start to find financial aid, then this video will give you a good idea on how to go about finding free money in the form of financial aid, grants, and scholarships for college or trade schools for a variety of groups of people such as nursing students, single moms, women, and just about any U.S. Citizen seeking scholarships with the least amount of eligibility requirements.
Scholarships.com is a website that will offer a free scholarship search service. PLEASE pay attention to the web pages as some of the pages/forms may be ADVERTISEMENTS for colleges that you are filling out and NOT the scholarship website's profile/registration.

College Grants and Scholarships with the Minimum Amount of Eligibility Requirements is a 2020 Kindle eBook that lists approximately 150 college scholarships that have the least amount of eligibility requirements, so that just about any U.S citizen or legal resident can apply for these scholarships. There are only so many scholarships for a specific group of people, whether it is Hispanic, single mothers, women, nursing students, veterans, or other groups. Although this eBook is in need of an update, this eBook can provide a list of more available scholarships. Some of these scholarships require writing an essay while others require filling out just an application. There are NOT many scholarships available without specific, limiting criteria. There are many resources that will list thousands of scholarships, but a majority of them will have very specific requirements that prevents many students from applying to most of the scholarships listed in the resources. However, this Kindle eBook lists scholarships that most people within the U.S. can apply for. If you do not have a Kindle, you can download the free Kindle Previewer in order to view Kindle books on your PC at http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000765261 OR https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=A3IWA2TQYMZ5J6 . We know how difficult it is to format documents for the Kindle so the formatting might be kind of strange for some of the text. However, we find the text tolerable and the links work.
This eBook needs an update, but there are many scholarships listed that continue to be active.
