Reserved exclusively for UC's international degree-seeking undergraduate students, the University of Cincinnati is proud to administer the UC Global Scholarship.  

Amounts

The UC Global Scholarship is a merit-based award with multiple levels.  Awards range from full tuition to $1,000 per year.  It is renewable for the duration of a bachelor’s degree program (up to 12 quarters of study or 216 quarter hours) and the most common award amount is $5,000 per year.  UC Blue Ash students may receive a maximum of $4,000 per year due to the reduced cost of tuition at UC Blue Ash.
