Types of US Scholarships

The US system is unique. Understanding the difference between Merit, Need-Based, and Athletic aid is key to your success.

Merit-Based Aid

Awarded based on academic excellence (High SAT/ACT scores & GPA), leadership, or artistic talent. These do not consider your financial situation and are offered by most public and private universities.

Need-Based Aid

Determined by your family’s financial status. Highly selective colleges (like Harvard, MIT, Amherst) meet 100% of demonstrated need for international students. Requires filing the CSS Profile.

Athletic Scholarships

The USA is famous for NCAA scholarships. If you are a skilled athlete in sports like soccer, tennis, golf, or track, you can receive significant funding to play for a university team while you study.
