Augsburg University offers a range of scholarships and financial aid opportunities for international students, recognizing the value of diversity and global perspectives within its academic community. These scholarships are designed to support students from various backgrounds in their pursuit of higher education, while fostering leadership, interfaith dialogue, and community engagement.
Your eligibility to apply for these scholarships may vary, depending on your financial aid and scholarships already rewarded. Some of the scholarships below may not be stackable (meaning not able to add to your already existing scholarship packages).
- Christensen Scholars: https://www.augsburg.edu/ccv/christensen-scholars-program/
The Christensen Scholars Program is a small group of ten academically accomplished students who share an interest in the theological and practical exploration of Christian community and vocation. The experience promises to be intellectual, communal, theological, dialogical, challenging, and practical.
- Interfaith Scholars: https://www.augsburg.edu/interfaith/about/interfaith-scholars/
Interfaith Scholars are students who are interested in exploring the religious diversity of the Augsburg student body, the wider Twin Cities community, and the United States through interreligious dialogue and action. Students from a variety of traditions as well as the non-religious are invited to apply in order to converse respectfully with others about what they believe, why it matters, and how it propels us to service in the world. Once selected, the cohort has both academic and service requirements for an entire academic year.
- Global Scholarships: https://globalscholarships.com/globalscholarships-scholarships/
Global Scholarships’ mission is to make scholarships accessible and transparent, and we would like to take one step closer to our mission by offering an external scholarship for a prospective international student. There are currently very few external scholarships that are specifically for international students, and we want to make scholarships more accessible for international students by offering this annual scholarship.
- OAS Financial Aid Opportunities for Latin American and Caribbean students: https://www.oas.org/en/rowefund/
This program aims to support Latin American and Caribbean students pursuing higher education in the United States by providing interest-free loans and supplementary scholarships.
