OISS Scholarship (International Undergraduate Students)

University of Nevada, Reno, United States

Scholarship overview

The Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) awards scholarships to new and continuing undergraduate students on F-1 or J-1 visas. Nominations are made on donor criteria and GPA.

International students cannot file the FAFSA, so need-based consideration runs through the Institutional Methodology form administered by the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. F-1/J-1 visa holders are not eligible for institutional funding in their first academic year.
