Rutgers-Newark International Student Scholarships

About this scholarship

Rutgers-Newark International Student Scholarships are merit scholarships for admitted international undergraduates on valid non-immigrant visas. Rutgers states that all admitted international students are automatically considered for Rutgers international scholarships and that no separate application is required. International students who want scholarship consideration are encouraged to apply by the early action or regular action admission due dates, and Rutgers notes that early applicants are more likely to receive awards because availability is limited. Published scholarship amounts range from $5,000 to $16,000 per year. The award is partial funding because it reduces educational costs but does not cover full tuition, mandatory fees, housing, meals, books, health insurance, travel, or personal expenses. Rutgers-Newark scholarships can be renewable if the student maintains full-time enrollment and meets the minimum academic criteria for the award. The central scholarship page states Rutgers-Newark scholarships are renewable for eight semesters for first-year students and four semesters for transfer students, provided the student is continuously enrolled at Rutgers-Newark.
