UConn Global Excellence Award
Offered by University of Connecticut
About this scholarship
The UConn Global Excellence Award is a renewable merit scholarship for international undergraduate applicants at all UConn campuses. UConn lists it under scholarships available to international applicants and describes it as a merit-based scholarship renewable for four years, with the fixed amount determined on a yearly basis. Amount_value is therefore left null rather than guessed. The award is partial funding because UConn does not state that it covers full tuition, fees, housing, meals, books, health insurance, travel, or personal expenses. Students with exceptional academic achievement who excel as leaders inside and outside the classroom are considered. UConn gives priority consideration to students who complete the application by December 1, the priority deadline for merit and Honors consideration. International first-year applicants are automatically considered for merit scholarship and Honors Program eligibility during application review, whether or not standardized test scores are submitted. Applicants must complete the international first-year admission process, submit required academic credentials and English proficiency evidence unless waived, and follow UConn scholarship terms if selected.
