No, the general scholarship listing describes it as a partial-funding award that covers at least 50% of tuition fees. However, the exact amount depends on the university. For example, Flavia Astete Garcia received a renewable $20,000 annual award at Temple University, while João Victor França Nunes received $45,000 per year in tuition support at Clarkson University.

Based on the scholarship page, applicants generally must be first-year international students, meet the university’s admission requirements, and show a willingness to promote intercultural learning and exchange. The recipient stories also suggest that strong academics, leadership, and a clear personal narrative help. As Flavia Astete Garcia explained, a big part of her preparation was “understanding my own story.”

The general requirements listed on the scholarship page include the scholarship application form, either a 500–1000 word essay or a 2–5 minute video, and any additional documents required by the university, such as transcripts or proof of English proficiency. First-hand stories show that schools may accept different formats. For instance, Flavia Astete Garcia said she submitted a “video essay,” while João Victor França Nunes said he had to “practice my writing skills” to develop strong motivation letters.

No. The general application process starts with applying for admission to a participating institution, then following that university’s scholarship process and deadline. In practice, applicants often rely on university pages for the details. João Victor França Nunes said that most of his scholarship information came from the institution’s websites.

It can be, but renewal depends on the institution’s own rules. At Temple University, Flavia Astete Garcia described her award as $20,000 per year and renewable. At Clarkson University, João Victor França Nunes said his scholarship provided tuition support for four years. Applicants should therefore check the renewal conditions of the specific university they are applying to.

The recipient stories point to a mix of strong academics, leadership, service, and authentic self-presentation. Flavia Astete Garcia said her application stood out because it combined strong academics with her personal story, and that using a creative format helped her present herself authentically. João Victor França Nunes emphasized originality, creativity, self-initiative, and linking community work with leadership and problem-solving.

The scholarship page says applicants must meet the university’s admission requirements, so testing depends on the institution. In the recipient stories, Flavia Astete Garcia prepared for TOEFL and later said she would have taken the SAT or ACT to strengthen her chances, while João Victor França Nunes submitted TOEFL and said the SAT was optional during his cycle.

Start early, research deeply, and make your application personal. Flavia Astete Garcia advised applicants to “be yourself” and to build connections by reaching out to students and admissions teams. João Victor França Nunes recommended studying the institution carefully, refining your submission multiple times, and advocating for yourself.
