UConn Global Leader Award
Offered by University of Connecticut
About this scholarship
The UConn Global Leader Award is a renewable merit scholarship for international undergraduate applicants at the University of Connecticut. UConn lists the award as available to international applicants across all campuses and says it is renewable for four years, with the fixed dollar amount determined on a yearly basis. The official page does not publish a specific amount, so amount_value is left null. The award is partial funding because it is not stated to cover full tuition, fees, housing, meals, health insurance, books, travel, or personal expenses. Students with exceptional academic achievement who excel as leaders both in and outside the classroom are considered for the Global Leader Award. UConn gives priority consideration to applicants who complete the application by December 1, which is also the priority date for merit and Honors consideration. International first-year applicants are automatically reviewed for merit scholarships during admission, and standardized test scores are not required for scholarship eligibility. English proficiency evidence is required unless a policy waiver applies.
