Partially funded

International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) Scholarship

University of Utah, United States

Scholarship overview

The ISSS Scholarship is a one-time $2,000 award for international students in F-1 or J-1 status who face extenuating financial circumstances affecting their ability to pay tuition. It applies only to the current semester.

Awards are for students whose funding has become untenable through a single event or accumulated strain, such as a change in a sponsor's or family's circumstances, currency devaluation or transfer restrictions in the home country, a gap between cost of attendance and resources, or unforeseen expenses.
