The stated objective of the scheme is to build a network of friends of the UK, who will be future leaders in their countries.

USA Full Tuition Scholarships for International Students

For more Scholarships and Guidelines:

Join our Group : https://www.facebook.com/groups/Intl.scholarship/

Like our Page    : https://www.facebook.com/offeredscholarships/

This is a comprehensive list of all the full-tuition scholarships in USA for international undergraduate students.

Some scholarships included in this list award more than tuition, and some offer fully funded scholarships to international students. I have made sure that all the scholarships listed here are applicable to international students. One of the official scholarship pages will state somewhere that the scholarships listed are available for international students. If the website did not clearly state that the scholarship is available to international students, I have not included in this list.

I have separate this scholarships by state, so it would be easier to navigate through. If the scholarship has a minimum requirement, I have included it below the name of the scholarship. Also, if there were any determining factors such as leadership or community service, I have included it.

You should note that these full tuition scholarships in USA are competitive, meaning that you may or may not get the scholarship even though you meet the minimum requirements. You need to be well above the minimum requirements or have special extracurricular activities to be actually competitive for these scholarships.

Also, some scholarships are very competitive like Washington and Lee’s Johnson scholarship, while some are not as competitive like University of Alabama’s Presidential Scholarship. You should keep in mind that the level of difficulty in getting a scholarship is different for each scholarship.

Since this list of full tuition scholarships is very large, it would be foolish to apply to all of them. However, you should research each college to see which would be the best for you and apply accordingly. Also, make sure that you apply to safety colleges and colleges in your own country in case these scholarships do not work for you.
