8 Top Universities in the USA That Offer Full Scholarships to International Students

7) Washington State University

Considered a Public Ivy, Washington State University is well-known for its well-rounded academic experiences. 

This public university can be found in Pullman, Washington, and offers a solid undergraduate education experience. 

There are multiple research centers on campus where students can study topics ranging from aerospace engineering to ethnobotany. 

While WSU does not offer full scholarships exclusively for international students, there are scholarship programs that cater specifically to these students including The Chancellor’s Global Fellowship Program and The WSU Global Undergraduate Scholarship. 

The cost of tuition for one year is $7,412 (USD). There are various housing options available on campus which range from dorms with shared bathrooms to apartments with private bathrooms. 

The main dining hall is located right next to the football stadium and is open seven days a week during regular hours. 

Parking permits will cost you an additional $28 per month, while textbooks will set you back about $1,000-USD 2,000 per semester depending on your major.

The location of this school isn’t ideal for those who prefer to live in a metropolitan area but it has been named by The Princeton Review as one of the top ten most beautiful campuses in America due to its natural surroundings and proximity to Mt. Rainier National Park. 

About 8,000 international students from over 90 countries attend WSU each year and about 30% of these students receive financial aid. 

Nearly 60% of these students graduate within six years. One perk of attending WSU is that if you are not able to find employment in the state after graduation, your degree may qualify for a resident salary exemption allowing you to continue living and working in Washington.
