Institute\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">study at WPI<\/a> and are International students in particular that the institute has a fair amount of scholarship options that reward exceptional academic performance and students with requirements based on financial aid. A few of them are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Merit-Based Scholarships<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>These scholarships are relatively easy to come by because they are awarded to first-time freshmen and transfer students who are likely to have displayed educational attainment and leadership skills and participated in community service in the past. Having an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma and scoring at least 40 guarantees you $25,000 as a scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Need-Based Grants<strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WPI offers a wide range of options and, depending on someone\u2019s requirement, costs between $5,000-$25,000 worth of grants. Students, however, need to pass Tennessen\u2019s Aid form for them to qualify. As long as such students perform well academically, the grants remain renewable each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Global Scholarship<strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Global Scholarship would also require students in this category to apply only once. The problem is that it tends to have a limited coverage of being a one-time scholarship offering of up to $5,000. The funds offered under Global scholarships help cover costs that arise due to participation in international projects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellouni.org\/blogs\/usa-university\/top-courses-to-propel-your-career-at-worcester-polytechnic-institute\/\">offered by WPI<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Apply_for_Scholarships\"><\/span><a><\/a>How to Apply for Scholarships<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are required to submit a financial aid form referred to as a CSS profile in order to receive any financial aid. This is useful in understanding your financial needs in WPI. It is wise to supplement your application with supporting information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hellouni.org\/user\/account\">Apply Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extra_Opportunities_for_Financial_Support\"><\/span><a><\/a>Extra Opportunities for Financial Support<strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellouni.org\/blogs\/usa-university\/worcester-polytechnic-institute\/wpi-scholarships-your-launchpad-to-a-future-in-tech-innovation\/\">scholarships awarded by WPI,<\/a> students can also source for other scholarships outside the university.
