November Scholarship Deadlines
Scholarships and fellowships with application deadlines in November. Plan ahead and make sure you have enough time to prepare your documents and application.
University of Michigan-Dearborn Scholarship 2027
The University of Michigan-Dearborn Scholarship is awarded from your admission file, with no separate scholarship form anywhere in the process. Non-resident and international first-year students are placed on a GPA ladder worth $5,000 to $12,500 a year, or $20,000 to $50,000 across four years. Students from eight nearby states and Ontario can instead be assessed at the in-state rate through the Great Lakes Scholarship, worth around $18,000 a year. Non-resident graduate students on in-person programmes receive the Graduate Dearborn Scholarship, which pays $1,250 to $8,000 a semester depending on credit load. Every merit award renews on a cumulative 3.0 GPA and full-time enrolment for up to eight semesters. The next date that matters is 15 November 2026, the Winter 2027 deadline for applicants who need a visa.
UMass Lowell Scholarship 2027 - Up to $20,000/yr
UMass Lowell decides merit scholarships from your admission application, and there is no separate scholarship form to chase. Out-of-state, national and international first-year students are considered for awards of $8,000 to $20,000 a year. Massachusetts residents compete for the Chancellor's Scholarship at full tuition and mandatory fees, or the Dean's Scholarship at up to half. New England students see $8,000 to $14,000 and students from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania see $5,000 to $13,000. Every award renews for up to eight consecutive semesters on a 3.000 GPA and full-time enrolment. Apply by Early Action I on 5 November 2026 for Fall 2027 entry.
USDA Internship Program 2027 - Unpaid, Washington DC
The USDA Internship Program places emerging leaders inside the U.S. Department of Agriculture for a semester of public service work in Washington DC, and the Spring 2027 cohort runs from 25 January to 30 April 2027 with applications due by 13 November 2026. Read one line before you plan around it: USDA states plainly that these internships are unpaid, with no housing and no relocation assistance. Eligibility is unusually open in one direction and completely closed in another. You do not need to be enrolled in a degree or hold one, but you must be a U.S. citizen and at least 18 years old at the time of application, so international students cannot apply. The placement is in person at the Whitten Building, there is no remote option, and selected applicants go through security screening before they start.
NITMB Fellows Program 2027 - 3-Year Chicago Fellowship
The NITMB Fellows Program gives early-career researchers three years in Chicago to build mathematics and theory around biological questions, with a salary, research and travel stipends, an office in the John Hancock Center, and no teaching load. Applications run through MathJobs from 1 September 2026 and close on 15 November 2026 for full consideration.
Weinstein JAMS Fellowship 2027 - Up to $20,000
The Weinstein JAMS International Fellowship sends dispute resolution professionals from outside the United States to spend one to four months in the USA, learning from American mediators, courts and universities before taking that knowledge home. The JAMS Foundation approves awards of up to $20,000 per fellow. Applicants may not be citizens of the United States. The 2027 cycle closes on 6 November 2026.
Cornell University Scholarship 2027 - Full Need Met
The Cornell University Scholarship is the grant sitting inside every Cornell financial aid offer, and you never apply for it on its own. Cornell meets 100 percent of demonstrated financial need for all eligible undergraduates, and nearly 50% of undergraduates receive a Cornell grant that is never repaid. Families earning up to $75,000 with typical assets get grants, scholarships and work-study covering the full cost of attendance, with zero expected parent contribution and no loans. Up to $125,000 and tuition is covered. There is no merit aid and no athletic scholarship at Cornell, so admission is the only gate. For autumn 2027 entry, Early Decision closes 1 November 2026 and Regular Decision 2 January 2027, with the CSS Profile opening on 1 October 2026. International students are eligible and have 100% of need met, but admission for them is need-aware rather than need-blind.
University of Miami Stamps Scholarship 2027 - Full Ride
The Stamps Scholarship is the biggest award the University of Miami hands out, and it is a genuine full ride rather than a tuition discount. It covers tuition and fees, on-campus housing, a meal plan, University health insurance, textbooks and a laptop allowance for eight semesters, ten if you are in a five-year degree programme, and it adds a $12,000 enrichment fund that you direct yourself towards research, study abroad or internships. With the 2026-27 cost of attendance sitting at $98,872 for a student living on campus, the package is worth close to $400,000 across four years. There is no separate scholarship form. The catch is the admission plan: only students admitted through Early Decision I or Early Action, both closing 1 November 2026, are considered, and unlike several other UM premier awards this one is open to every first-year applicant regardless of citizenship.
Gabelli Presidential Scholarship 2027 - Full Tuition
The Gabelli Presidential Scholarship is the largest merit award Boston College gives an incoming freshman: full tuition for four years, funded summer programs, and a place in the Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program that has run since 1991. Around 18 students are invited each year, and 74 are enrolled across the four class years. There is no separate scholarship application. You apply to BC for first-year admission by the priority scholarship deadline of 1 November 2026, and every application filed by that date is considered automatically, whether you choose Early Decision I, Early Decision II or Regular Decision. International students are eligible. BC sets no minimum GPA or test score, though selected scholars usually sit in the top 1 to 2 percent of the national freshman applicant pool.
Duke Karsh International Scholarship 2027 - Fully Funded
The Duke Karsh International Scholarship is the full-ride award Duke University gives to international students entering as first-years, and it is one of the few US undergraduate scholarships that pays the whole cost of attendance for four years. It covers tuition, mandatory fees, room and board, any demonstrated need above those costs, and three summers of funding for research, unpaid internships and other work that pushes your academic plans forward. Duke named 10 Karsh Scholars from 10 countries in the Class of 2030, part of 43 merit scholars in total. There is no separate scholarship application. You apply to Duke for first-year admission, tick the financial aid interest box, file the CSS Profile, and the Office of University Scholars and Fellows picks the scholars from the admitted international pool. Early Decision closes 2 November 2026 and Regular Decision 4 January 2027 for Fall 2027 entry.
MSU International Scholarship 2027 - Up to $15,000/yr
Michigan State University considers every international first-year applicant for its non-resident scholarships without asking for a separate form. The tiers run from the President's Scholarship at $15,000 a year down through the Provost's at $12,000, the Dean's at $10,000, the 1855 Scholarship at $7,000, Beaumont Tower at $5,000 and Global Community Scholars at $3,000. Students invited into the Honors College can pick up the Excellence Scholarship at $13,000 a year on top. Awards run for up to eight consecutive semesters on 12 credits a term and good academic standing. Finish the admission application by 1 November 2026 for maximum scholarship consideration for Fall 2027 entry.
Purdue University Scholarship 2027 - Up to $16,000/yr
Purdue University hands out its merit scholarships automatically, with no separate scholarship form to fill in. Finish your admission application by the firm 1 November 2026 Early Action deadline and you are considered for the whole university-wide set: the Trustees Scholarship at $16,000 a year for nonresidents or $10,000 for Indiana residents, the Presidential Scholarship at $10,000 or $4,000, the Lilly Scholars at Purdue Program at full tuition with a guaranteed paid Lilly internship, and Indy Scholars at $10,000 a year minimum on the Indianapolis campus. Each one renews for up to four years on a 3.00 Purdue GPA. About 15% of applicants come away with a merit award. Only domestic students qualify, so students holding F, J and some other visa types are excluded.
University of Florida Scholarship 2027 - Up to $80,000
The University of Florida Scholarship 2027 is the set of merit awards UF hands to admitted freshmen with no separate application. Presidential awards run $5,000, $8,000 or $10,000 a year, and out-of-state tuition waivers run up to $20,000 a year through the Gator Nation Scholarship, worth $80,000 across four years. Alongside them sit the invitation-only John V. Lombardi and Stamps scholarships for Honors admits, the need-based Machen Florida Opportunity Scholars package, and a $500 National Merit award. Roughly one in ten admitted freshmen gets a merit scholarship. Apply by the 1 November 2026 Early Action deadline for Fall 2027 entry, and offers land by mid-March 2027.
