Special Programs

Opportunity Funds Scholarship
Description: The 91ÖÆƬ³§ Opportunity Funds program strengthens American communities and classrooms by assisting highly qualified international students who are likely to be awarded full financial aid from U.S. colleges and universities. The model supports economic prosperity by attracting top talent to the United States, strengthening institutional academic and research capacity at U.S. colleges and universities, and building prosperous communities. International education is a billion-dollar industry that establishes global relations in critical sectors such as business, diplomacy, and security for years to come. In addition to academic abilities, Opportunity Funds students strengthen the global competitiveness of Americans whose knowledge and understanding of the world grows through engagement with international students on U.S. campuses. Each Opportunity Funds student undergoes a selective process of evaluation by an 91ÖÆƬ³§ adviser, Regional Manager (REAC) and the Public Affairs Section of a U.S. Embassy/Consulate. More than 150 colleges and universities have enrolled Opportunity Funds students since 2006. This program is open to all fields and disciplines with the exception of clinical fields in medicine, veterinary and odontology. Priority will be given to STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The program does not cover tuition, housing, health insurance, or books. However, grantees will receive support from 91ÖÆƬ³§ to find a full financial offer directly from a U.S. university or college. The program is not designed for students who are currently studying at the university level and hope to transfer to a U.S. institution.
Deadline: October - February
