About the Scholarship

Winthrop calls this its most prestigious award for international students, though the cash attached is small: $250 a semester, $500 a year.

The money that matters is the out-of-state grant bundled with it, which the university does not put a figure on beyond saying it cannot exceed the out-of-state portion of tuition. At Winthrop's published rate that is worth several thousand dollars a year.

It is a working award. Recipients give 30 hours of service a semester to the international centre, and losing that commitment means losing both the scholarship and the grant. It is recorded with no merit or need basis because selection turns on serving as an ambassador.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

$250 a semester, so $500 a year, plus an out-of-state grant the university does not quantify. That grant cannot exceed the out-of-state portion of tuition and is the larger half of the award.

Eligibility

Selection as an international ambassador, with 30 hours of service a semester to the international centre. Renewal needs a cumulative grade average of 3.0 and those 30 hours; the centre may withdraw the award and reinstate the out-of-state charge if the requirements are not met.

Eligible Countries

The university calls this its most prestigious award for international students, open to F-1 and J-1 undergraduates and graduates.

All countries

How to Apply

A separate downloadable application through the international centre, which selects recipients each semester through its own committee.
