Study Abroad Scholarships at Arkansas State University

Arkansas State University is a public university in the US that offers many tuition support options for international students. For Vietnamese students, this is especially worth paying attention to, since A-State offers both official international scholarships from the university and a special tuition benefit for applicants who apply through the A-State Vietnam Office.

Overview of A-State Scholarships for International Students

A-State currently offers several main types of support for international students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Some scholarships are awarded automatically alongside the admissions application, while other opportunities are more competitive and depend on the specific college, program, or type of funding.

💰 Cost of Studying at A-State After Tuition Support

When an appropriate scholarship or tuition benefit is applied, the total cost of studying at A-State can be significantly more accessible than the general cost of studying in the US. However, the final cost still depends on your level of study, housing, meal plan, course load, and the type of support you actually receive.

Costs after support are typically much more competitive than the standard out-of-state rate
Be sure to calculate the total based on: tuition + fees + housing + meals + insurance + personal expenses
