Are scholarships available for the universities I am interested in, and do I need to write any English tests for them in USA for a Master's?
Yes, scholarships are available for international students applying for Master's programs in the USA for the September 2027 intake. Many universities offer merit-based scholarships, assistantships, and fellowships for graduate students.
Most U.S. universities require proof of English proficiency through tests like TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test. Some universities may waive this requirement if your prior education was in English, but policies vary by institution and program.
Requirements and scholarship options differ by university and are subject to change. For personalized guidance on scholarships and English test requirements for your target universities, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
