The UC Global Scholarship
A University of Cincinnati scholarship award for international students
The University of Cincinnati is pleased to announce a new scholarship opportunity for international students. The UC Global Scholarship awards up to $7,000 per year to qualifying international students. It is renewable for the duration of a bachelor’s degree program (up to 12 quarters of study or 216 quarter hours) providing the student maintains a 3.2 cumulative grade point average and completes the annual 30-hour volunteer service requirement.
Freshmen students receiving the UC Global Scholarship must reside outside the United States. International students living within the United States will be considered for the Cincinnatus Scholarship Competition rather than the UC Global Scholarship.
Transfer students must submit a course-by-course credit evaluation of all foreign university coursework. The evaluation must be completed by a member organization of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), such was World Education Services (www.wes.org). The course-by-course evaluation MUST be submitted directly from the credential evaluation organization to the UC. Transfer students are also required to submit syllabi (or course descriptions) from their undergraduate courses. Transfer students with the equivalent of a 3.25 cumulative university GPA (based on the 4.0 scale) are eligible for the UC Global Scholarship.
The University of Cincinnati admission application serves as the application for this scholarship. All complete applications submitted by published application deadlines will be considered for the UC Global Scholarship. For a list of all materials required, read the International Application Checklist or contact the Official Representative in your country. Applicants should be aware that some programs may have earlier application deadlines, limited capacity or other limitations on admission.
