Who should apply
This suits an international student planning an undergraduate degree at FDU who has strong academic merit and wants the award handled through the admission application rather than a separate contest.
It also fits students who can commit to full-time study each year, since renewal depends on staying enrolled full time, keeping a good GPA and remaining in good standing at FDU.
What the award covers
The FDU International Scholarship is worth up to $24,000 per year. It is renewable for up to four years, so the total support depends on how long you study and on meeting the renewal conditions each year. The award is made per year (Fall and Spring semesters) and cannot be used towards a Summer semester. It will not increase once awarded.
