How do I find a PHD scholarship in the USA?
Updated on Aug 23, 2024Edvoy can guide you on scholarships, but we don't provide them directly.
And just a heads-up, scholarships typically won't cover your living expenses.
International students can find Ph.D. scholarships in the USA through various channels. Firstly, they can explore funding options directly offered by their prospective universities or departments. Many institutions have scholarships exclusively for international Ph.D. candidates, so it's essential to thoroughly research each university's financial aid offerings.
Secondly, external organisations, both public and private, provide scholarships for international students pursuing Ph.D. degrees in the USA. Some popular scholarship opportunities include:
- Fulbright Foreign Student Program
- Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program
- International Fulbright Science and Technology Award
- The Gates Scholarship
- AAUW International Fellowships (for women)
Furthermore, students can utilise online scholarship databases and search engines specifically designed for international students, such as ProFellow, International Scholarships and Scholarship Positions. Networking and engaging with professors or researchers in their field of interest may also reveal funding opportunities.
International students should carefully review the eligibility requirements and application deadlines for each scholarship and consider their academic achievements, research interests and career goals while applying.
