Scholarship Details
The Clarkson University USA Scholarships 2026–2027 are designed to support academically outstanding international students through a range of merit-based funding opportunities. All admitted international students are automatically considered for standard merit scholarships during the admission process. However, high-value awards such as the Ignite Presidential Fellowship, #YouAreWelcomeHere Scholarship, and Honors Program Scholarships require separate applications and offer more substantial financial support.
These scholarships are awarded once at entry and are not increased in subsequent years, with continued eligibility dependent on the completion of Satisfactory Academic Progress. In addition to institutional funding, Clarkson University encourages students to seek external international scholarships and provides guidance in doing so. Graduate students may also access funding through assistantships, fellowships, and departmental awards, which are typically determined by individual academic programs.
