GlobalScholarships.com $3,000 Scholarship for International Students

GlobalScholarships.com is happy to offer a $3,000 Scholarship for International Students to one (1) international student. In the previous year, we have picked 3 winners for $1,000 each, and this year, we’ve decided to give out $3,000 scholarships to one winner.

Global Scholarships’ mission is to make scholarships accessible and transparent, and we would like to take one step closer to our mission by offering an external scholarship for a prospective international student. There are currently very few external scholarships that are specifically for international students, and we want to make scholarships more accessible for international students by offering this annual scholarship.

This is our second year for our annual scholarship, and we are currently going through the applications for the previous scholarship. Once we have picked our winners, we will post the winners in this page.

GlobalScholarships.com $3,000 scholarship is for the Fall 2025 studies and is offered to any eligible prospective or current international student studying in Fall 2025. By international students, we mean students studying in a country where they are not a citizen or permanent resident. This scholarship is offered to all postsecondary degree programs, which are diploma, Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, Ph.D, as well as professional programs like law and medicine.

The application will close on May 31st, 2025, 5 finalists will be notified on June 15 – 30th, and the winner will be announced the winner will be announced on July 15th – 25th. Scholarships will be paid directly to the winner’s institution in the winner’s name.

Eligibility Criteria
You must meet ALL of the following to be eligible:

• You must be an international student, that is, you cannot be a citizen or a permanent resident of a country that you will be studying in Fall 2025.
• You must be a current or a prospective student who will be enrolled in a postsecondary degree program (Diploma, Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, Ph.D., as well as professional programs like law and medicine) in Fall 2025.

• What we look for in a candidate*
  We are looking to give this scholarship to a student who has best maximized their potential given their circumstances and will continue to maximize their potential in the future. By “maximizing their potential given their circumstances,” a student who comes from an affluent family and has maximized their potential in one way or another is just as qualified for this scholarship as a student from an impoverished family who also has done the same. We take more of a holistic approach in giving this scholarship, with a combination of merit, writing skills, and the essay describing what we look for in a candidate. We take financial needs into consideration only in the light of “maximizing their potential given their circumstances.”
