Tulane University Merit Scholarships 2027
Tulane considers every first-year applicant for merit money automatically, with no separate scholarship form. Partial tuition awards run from $1,000 to $32,000 a year. Above them sit the full-tuition Dean's Honor Scholarship, the Grossman & Cohen Scholarship worth roughly $400,000 across four years, and around five Stamps Scholarships a year that cover the entire $98,710 cost of attendance plus an enrichment fund. International students compete for the same awards through the Global Scholarships route, up to full tuition and fees. The date that decides how much is still in play is 10 November 2026, the Early Action deadline for Fall 2027 entry, because several scholarship supplements close in December.
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.
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.
Make Me Laugh Scholarship 2027 - $1,500 Unigo Award
The Make Me Laugh Scholarship is Unigo's $1,500 award for the funniest 250-word story, and it is one of the shortest scholarship applications a US student can file. There is no GPA cutoff, no transcript, no recommendation letters and no essay about why you deserve the money. You describe one funny or embarrassing incident from your life, real or invented, in 250 words or less. Anyone aged 14 or older who is a legal resident of the 50 states or the District of Columbia can enter, as long as they are already studying at an accredited college, university or trade school or will enrol no later than the fall of 2032. The current cycle opened on 31 August 2026 and closes on 31 August 2027 at 11:59pm Pacific Time. One winner is picked on or about 29 November 2027 and notified around 30 November, and the $1,500 goes to their school as a check rather than to the student in cash.
Boeing Internship 2027 - Paid 10-12 Week US Program
Boeing runs one of the largest paid internship programmes in US aerospace, and the Summer 2027 postings are live now across engineering, business, supply chain, finance, human resources, IT and data analytics. Placements run full-time for 10 to 12 weeks between mid-May and September, at more than 30 US sites from Everett and Seattle to Arlington, Saint Charles, Huntsville, Wichita and Oklahoma City. Eligibility is short and strict: you must be a currently enrolled college or university student with an expected graduation date on or after August 2027, and you must be free to work full-time for the whole block. Two lines decide most applications. Boeing will not sponsor an employment visa for these roles, and export control rules mean many of them require US Person status. Summer 2027 postings state that applications will be accepted until 23 October 2026.
