International Students

Opportunities open to international students studying at NAU.


Chevening Scholarships

Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations. The programme makes awards to outstanding scholars with leadership potential from around the world, providing full or part funding for full-time courses at postgraduate level, normally a one-year Master’s degree, in any subject and at any UK university. Chevening Scholars come from over 116 countries worldwide (excluding the USA and the EU), and this year the Scholarships will support approximately 700 individuals. 

US citizens are not eligible for this scholarship but international students in the US may well be eligible. They would need to be able to return to their home country for interview and intend to return to their home country at the end of the scholarship.  

Scholarship and Fellowship Lists for International Students

Many scholarships and fellowships require US citizenship or residency. See the Scholarships for International Students List and other resources on the Grinnell College website, which list approximately 100 different opportunities that accept applications from international students.

The Fellowship Opportunities site at the University of Illinois is also quite good for international students.
