Eight ways to fund your US degree.
The US has the widest range of scholarship categories of any destination we counsel for — and the most complex to navigate.
Every university sets its own criteria, deadlines, and combinations. Here’s the map.
University Scholarships
Awarded directly by universities - ranging from partial tuition waivers to full scholarships covering tuition, accommodation, and living expenses. Automatic during admission or via a separate application. Your target university should always be your first source.
- International Student Scholarships
- Presidential Scholarships
- Dean's Scholarships
- Tuition Waivers

Need-Based Financial Aid
Aid for international students with demonstrated financial need. Rarer than for US citizens but several institutions offer generous packages — from partial tuition grants to full-cost coverage for qualified applicants.
- Tuition grants
- Fee waivers
- Living expense assistance
- Work-study opportunities
Country-Specific Awards
Scholarships targeted at students from specific countries or developing regions - Nepal is eligible for many of these programs, ranging from partial tuition support to fully funded packages.
- Based on citizenship
- Academic performance
- Leadership potential
- Intended field of study
Partial Scholarships
Not every scholarship covers full cost — but partial awards significantly reduce expenses and can be combined with other aid, grants, or assistantships to build a strong overall funding package.
- Partial tuition waivers
- One-time or renewable awards
- Housing / meal assistance
- Book & material allowances
Merit-Based Scholarships
For students with exceptional achievement in academics, leadership, athletics, community service, research, or entrepreneurship. Typically partial to full tuition awards, and often renewable across your degree if you maintain academic standards.
- International Student Scholarships
- Presidential Scholarships
- Dean's Scholarships
- Tuition Waivers
Government-Funded Scholarships
The US State Department sponsors prestigious scholarships for international students. Fully funded - covering tuition, monthly stipend, airfare, and health insurance. Highly competitive and transformational when secured.
- Fulbright Foreign Student Program
- Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship
- Exchange & research programs
- Full tuition + stipend + airfare
Privately Funded Scholarships
Awarded by private foundations, corporations, and non-profits amounts vary widely by program. Often support high-demand fields or underrepresented communities.
- STEM programs
- Business & Management
- Healthcare & Nursing
- Women in Leadership

- Professional experience earned
