WPI International Leadership Award

About this scholarship

The WPI International Leadership Award is a highly selective scholarship for incoming first-year international students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. WPI states that it offers up to two International Leadership Awards per year to incoming first-year international students who are non-citizens and have demonstrated commitment to WPI's values of achievement, innovation, community, respect, and inclusion. The award is a secondary scholarship combined with merit-based and need-based scholarships to cover the student's calculated need up to a maximum award of full tuition and fees; the package may also include an additional $12,000 housing allowance. The amount_value is left null because the benefit depends on calculated need and the final package rather than a fixed annual amount. It is recorded as partial funding because the official description caps coverage at tuition and fees, with housing allowance only possible, and does not guarantee all living, insurance, travel, book, or personal expenses. All accepted students are considered automatically, with no separate application process.
