What is the difference between private schools and public schools applying for scholarships?

In terms of scholarship application, private schools provide more scholarships for international students than public schools. In addition to some scholarship foundations established by the government, private schools generally have many privately sponsored foundations, named after their sponsors, to sponsor outstanding students in a certain field.

Applicants can apply for one or more fund grants while applying for scholarships and research assistantships in schools with private foundations, so as to expand their chances of obtaining funding. American public schools sometimes set up such fund organizations, but most American public schools do not sponsor a large number of funds to international students.

Will the number of international students affect the application for scholarships?

Schools with a large proportion of international students (especially graduate department) are more likely to award scholarships to international students. Because most international students who apply to study in the United States cannot fully provide their own expenses, they need scholarships from American schools to complete their studies.

From the school point of view, the proportion of international students in comprehensive schools is more than that in ordinary universities, which can exceed 25% at most (such as Harvard University and Yale University). From a regional perspective, there are more international students in general comprehensive universities, which are distributed in the southeastern, southwestern, northwestern and central parts of the United States. China students are mainly distributed in these areas, especially California, followed by Illinois, Texas, Florida and other States.
