You Are Welcome Here Scholarships

The You Are Welcome Here Scholarships are for international students planning to study in the United States at any level. This initiative highlights U.S. higher education institutions that value diversity, safety, and student development. Participating colleges and universities express their commitment through statements, photos, videos, and events featuring students, faculty, and staff.

The repeated message, 'You are welcome here,' from diverse campus members underscores a supportive environment for internationalization across U.S. campuses.

Open to international students at all levels of study, including undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs. Applicants must apply to and be admitted by a participating U.S. institution under the You Are Welcome Here initiative. No specific income or academic performance thresholds are required, but students must meet the admission criteria of the chosen university.

First, identify and apply to a participating U.S. institution listed under the You Are Welcome Here Scholarships program. Once admitted, check if the university requires a separate application for the scholarship. Submit all requested documents, such as academic transcripts, proof of English proficiency, and a statement of purpose.

Follow the institution’s specific instructions for the scholarship application.
