Scholarships for International Students

Scholarships and Fellowships: Resources for International Students

While not having US citizenship does limit the number of scholarships for which international students are eligible, there are scholarship opportunities international students can take advantage of. Eligibility requirements for scholarships vary, but many scholarships awarded by Cornell are open to students regardless of US citizenship.

The "How to Apply" link to the left provides information relevant to international students applying for any scholarship.
