With three colleges—Liberal Arts, Fine Arts, and Nursing—the school offers more than 40 majors and minors across disciplines such as business, science, humanities, and the arts. Small class sizes and close faculty interaction are hallmarks of the IWU experience, fostering a supportive learning environment for both domestic and international students.

In addition to the merit awards, students may apply for supplemental aid through the CSS PROFILE, which can unlock additional university‑funded scholarships, low‑interest loans, and on‑campus employment opportunities. Studying in the United States entails navigating visa requirements, typically an F‑1 student visa for full‑time undergraduates.

While the scholarships substantially reduce tuition costs, prospective students should budget for living expenses in Bloomington, where the cost of living is lower than in major metropolitan areas.

Benefits - Merit Scholarships: $15,000‑$38,000 annually, renewable for four years. - President’s Scholarship: Full tuition for two top international students, renewable for four years. - Supplemental Aid: Access to additional university‑funded scholarships, need‑based loans, and on‑campus jobs after completing the CSS PROFILE. - Academic Environment: Small classes, faculty mentorship, and a vibrant liberal‑arts community. - Career Support: Dedicated career services, internships, and alumni networks that aid post‑graduation employment.

Université de Lyon Master’s Scholarships

Opportunity Overview Université de Lyon is offering Master's scholarships for international students to study at one of the most prominent university networks in France. The university system, based in the country's third-largest city, brings together 12 member institutions and nearly 120,000 students, making it one of the largest higher education clusters in Europe. The scholarship is designed to support high-achieving students from around the world who want to pursue a graduate degree in France. The Université de Lyon network includes several well-known institutions, such as Claude Bernard University Lyon 1, Lumière University Lyon 2, Jean Moulin University Lyon 3, and the prestigious École Normale Supérieure de Lyon. Each of these schools has its own strengths, ranging from science and engineering to humanities, social sciences, and business. The network also partners with research laboratories and engineering schools, so students have access to a broad academic environment rather than a single campus. Lyon itself is a major draw for international students. It is France's gastronomic capital, with a UNESCO-listed old town and a strong tech and pharmaceutical industry. The city is well connected to Paris by high-speed train, with a journey time of around two hours. Living costs in Lyon are noticeably lower than in Paris, though still significant. Students typically budget between 800 and 1,200 euros per month for rent, food, transport, and personal expenses. The city has a large student population, and international students can expect a welcoming environment with plenty of cultural events and student associations. This scholarship is aimed at students who have already been admitted to a Master's program at one of the member institutions. It is not a separate application process for admission; rather, it is a funding opportunity that supports students once they have secured a place. If you are considering graduate study in France and want to be based in a dynamic, mid-sized European city rather than the capital, this program is worth a close look. Before applying, use Oppora's CV Builder Studio to prepare a clear, ATS-friendly academic CV, since the selection committee will likely review your academic background and achievements closely.
