Is it true that if I perform well in the first semester, I can get a scholarship from the second semester onwards?

It depends. Most U.S. universities award scholarships to international students based on academic performance at the time of admission, not after the first semester. These scholarships are usually renewable for multiple years if you maintain the required academic standards.

A few universities may offer merit-based awards or additional funding for strong performance after enrollment, but this is less common. Most ongoing scholarships require you to maintain a specific GPA, not just perform well in the first semester.

If you want to explore options for scholarships after starting your studies, discuss your specific situation with your LeapScholar counsellor.
