Scholarships

University of VirginiaFinancial Need

International students normally do not qualify for financial based need. There are a variety of ways to get the necessary funding to achieve your dream. Merit based scholarships are available for international students. Mr. Will has expertise in this matter. Some colleges are very open to giving the international student in-state tuition fees which is, itself, a huge savings for the student.

American students must fill out a FAFSA form to be eligible for financial aid (www.fafsa.com).

Sports

Sports scholarships are granted to those students who display an exceptional ability to play a sport. The good news is that the SAT requirement is usually lower for those athletes who demonstrate their skills. Sports scholarships require that the student register with NCAA Clearinghouse in the U.S. (www.ncaaclearinghouse.org). Moreover, the coaches generally want to see a video of you playing the sport, as well as a CV). Mr. Will can help you with this process. Scholarships are only available in Division 1 schools.

 

Merit Based

Once the student is accepted, the university often will look at high grades or a high SAT/ACT test and grant some type of reduction in the overall costs. This type of scholarship can save the parents huge amounts of money.
