Applying for scholarships
Although international students do not qualify for federal and state financial aid (unless you are an eligible noncitizen), there are still options to help fund your ASU education. ASU’s New American University merit-based scholarship is awarded to a limited number of qualified international undergraduate students who demonstrate high academic achievement.

"It was always my dream to be a civil engineer but my family was not able to fund me through college. I was fortunate enough to not only get an admission to ASU but also a scholarship through the Mastercard Foundation. ASU gave me a chance to be who I want to be, a civil engineer. I am forever thankful."
