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.

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.
Knight Hennessy Scholarship 2027 - Stanford Full Funding
The Knight Hennessy Scholarship 2027 is Stanford University's flagship graduate award, run as the Knight-Hennessy Scholars programme.

Up to 100 scholars are chosen each year and applicants of every nationality are welcome. The application for the 2027 cohort closes on 6 October 2026 at 1 pm Pacific Time, and you must also apply to your Stanford degree programme by 1 December 2026 or its own earlier deadline.

Applications for fall 2027 entry close on 1 October 2026.
Forté MBA Fellowship 2027 - How Schools Pick Fellows
The Forté MBA Fellowship 2027 is an MBA scholarship you cannot apply for directly. You apply to the MBA at one of Forté Foundation's member business schools, more than 40 of them in the US, and if you are admitted the school reviews you for all of its scholarships and picks its own Forté Fellows. Each school sets the dollar amount, which ranges from a partial award to full tuition. Fellows also get Forté conferences, a resume book sent to corporate partners and lifetime access to the Forté network. For the class entering in fall 2027, apply in Round 1 or Round 2, and Round 2 at most US member schools closes around early January 2027.
