Study Abroad

The university does not offer any financial aid for international students. However, scholarships are available for students on a merit basis. Pittsburgh offers international student scholarships for first-year students. International transfer students are not eligible to be considered for the scholarship process.

There are no separate scholarship forms that a student needs to fill to be considered for it. To be considered for the scholarship evaluation, international students need to submit their applications and supporting documents on time.

International students who apply early are automatically considered for scholarships. The scholarship committee makes decisions about award winners on a weekly basis.

*Deadlines can change depending on the course and can vary frequently. We encourage you to check the department’s/school website for exact deadlines.
