What else applicants should know

The scholarship is aimed at international students (non‑U.S.) only. 

So South African students are eligible as international applicants provided they meet admission and visa requirements.

You must enrol on campus rather than online, as this is a campus‑degree scholarship.

Even though the award is up to USD 5,000, you should calculate your total tuition cost, living cost, visa cost and ensure you have funding for the remainder. The award may not cover all costs.

If you delay your start date after being awarded, you may forfeit eligibility. 

Also, if you change degree programmes, interrupt training, or withdraw, the scholarship may be cancelled.

Because this is a U.S. university scholarship, non‑U.S. citizens must secure the appropriate visa (F‑1 student visa) and meet immigration requirements.

Although the scholarship is current, confirm the details with Full Sail University’s international admissions and scholarship office in case of updates for the 2026 intake.
