Caribbean Student Scholarship Fund at Ohio University

Hey there! It's been a while since I've posted on this blog. By popular demand, I've decided to start blogging once more and I hope to be doing so for a very long time. If you are a Caribbean Studying looking to advance your studies in your United States then this is the perfect place for you. I am here to help and share my experiences. I received some scholarship information in my inbox today. Ohio University in Athens, Ohio offers great scholarships to Caribbean Students and they have their own 'Caribbean Student Scholarship Fund.' This scholarship is specified for an undergraduate or graduate student from a Caribbean country who holds a 3.0 accumulative GPA and demonstrates financial need. The International Student and Faculty Services Office and the International Admissions staff will help to promote and identify potential candidates for this scholarship. Here's more information about the scholarship. https://www-sfa.chubb.ohiou.edu/cf/ScholBrochureSearch/details.cfm?item=3737 Visit Ohio University online at http://www.ohio.edu/

Scholarships for Caribbean Students Vol. 2

I've received countless emails inquirng about scholarship opportunities available for Caribbean students. The reality of the situation is that there is very little scholarship money available to Caribbean students from United States funding sources. The best way to work around this is to seek out universities that target Caribbean students. I've listed these universities in a previous posting.

I will provide you guys with a list of organizations and websites that are good places to seek out scholarships for Caribbean students who wish to study in the United States.

ScholarshipExperts.com This is a free site and you can specifically search for scholarships for International Students.

International Education Financial Aid This is yet another free site for you to seek out scholarships for International Students. Please bear in mind that as Caribbean Students intending to study in the United States you will be considered as "International Students".

Rotary International Most of the islands of the Caribbean have a Rotary International chapter. This organization provides limited international student scholarships.

FastWeb I know that many FastWeb scholarships are geared toward United States citizens but if you do a thorough search, you will stumble across a few scholarships that are open to International Students.

I will provide more advice in college posts about getting funding from your local organizations to study in the United States or Canada.
