Publish Date: Jan 18, 2017

Scholarships for International Students

Each fall semester, UB awards more than $1 million to international undergraduate students. Scholarships are awarded for academic merit, creative excellence and to student athletes.
The International Admissions Scholarship

The University at Buffalo offers scholarships in varying amounts to qualified international freshmen. Scholarship awards vary from $2,000–$10,000 per academic year and are renewable for up to four years with good academic standing. The International Admissions scholarship may be combined with other UB scholarships.

Eligibility criteria

  • Open to qualified incoming freshman (first-year) students who have no course work or credits completed at a postsecondary institution
  • Open only to full-time freshman international students
  • Available to students initially enrolling in the fall semester
  • Most scholarship recipients have a high school average of at least 88 percent or a B+ average (or the equivalent) and above average SAT/ACT scores.

Application and review process

  • There is not a separate scholarship application form. All qualified freshman applicants will be considered for the scholarship as part of the regular application review process.
  • Scholarships are awarded using a holistic review process. While GPA and test scores are the most important criteria, they are not the only criteria we consider.
  • Submit a one-page essay about why you want to study at UB. This essay can be the same as the standard application essay; you do not need to submit an additional essay.
  • Submit at least one letter of recommendation from a teacher who can comment about your potential as a university student and about your extracurricular activities. This recommendation letter can be the same as the standard application recommendation letter; you do not need to submit an additional letter.
