How to get a Full Scholarship for Your Bachelor's Degree (USA)
To secure a fully funded scholarship in the U.S., the process is simple but requires preparation. This guide here is specifically for first-year (freshman) applicants. These are students who have a high school diploma (it is ok if you completed high school several years ago) and have never enrolled in a college or university. If you have attended any college or university after high school, pursued or earned a Higher National Diploma (HND), or completed any post-secondary qualification, you are considered a transfer student and should follow the transfer application process instead. 🏫 STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE (first-year year students): 1. First, you need to find schools that give full scholarships to international students... I’ve made a list you can check out here or you can get the full eBook here: https://stan.store/williamlebeau/p/30-colleges-that-fully-fund-international-students. I have also added a school list at the bottom of this post. 2. Once you have your schools, the next step is to apply... You are going to use the Common App to apply: https://www.commonapp.org. I created a guide to make the Common App easy for international students, which you can find here: https://stan.store/williamlebeau/p/common-app-made-simple-for-international-students. You can also watch my YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/2yYYGHaIK04 3. After applying, you’ll need to submit the CSS Profile at https://cssprofile.collegeboard.org before the deadline and make sure all your documents are submitted. The CSS profile is how schools determine how much money you need for your scholarships. You can get a fee waiver for the CSS by looking at the list of schools that give CSS fee waivers here: https://www.skool.com/study-for-free-in-the-usa-6027/10-universities-with-css-fee-waivers-full-funding-part-2?p=40336729.
