Michigan State University
Michigan State pays $13,000 a year for eight semesters to international students invited into its Honors College.
There is no application for either the scholarship or the college: every applicant to the university is considered. The gate is the invitation, which is selective.
Note that the university's Honors College Distinction Scholarship, a sibling award, is closed to most international students, reaching only citizens of Canada and Mexico among non-Americans.
$13,000 a year across eight semesters. It can sit alongside the university's non-resident scholarship levels.
An invitation to the Honors College, which is itself selective and not guaranteed. Limited to eight consecutive semesters, needing at least 12 credit hours completed each semester, good academic standing and continued international residency for tuition purposes. No numeric grade threshold is published.
The university states this is awarded to a select group of non-Michigan residents and international students who are Honors College invitees.
No separate application, for the scholarship or the Honors College. All applicants to the university are considered.
