31 Jul 2026 · Answered by Mohit Tanna · 1 min read
On average, international undergraduates in the US receive about $25,100/year in institutional scholarships. At some top private universities, average awards can be much higher - $80,100 - $90,100/year - but these are less common.
- Most scholarships are merit- or need-based, and not all universities offer them to international students.
- Only about 19% of international students in the US receive college-funded scholarships; most rely on personal or family resources.
Scholarship amounts and eligibility vary by university and are subject to change.
