Shoreline leads the way as the first community college to offer #YouAreWelcomeHere Scholarship

graphic with text: "announcing the #YouAreWelcomeHere campaign's next step: a nationwide scholarship program".
Shoreline Community College – along with eight other U.S. college and university partners – is launching a national scholarship program for incoming international students, based on the viral #YouAreWelcomeHere social media campaign to encourage international students to study in the United States.

Initiated by Temple University, scholarship partners also include Concordia College (Minnesota), Eastern Michigan University, James Madison University (Virginia), University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, Purdue University Northwest (Indiana), Seattle University, and Western New England University (Massachusetts).

This new scholarship will provide financial support for incoming international students who are committed to furthering the #YouAreWelcomeHere message through intercultural exchange that bridges divides at their future campuses and beyond. Participating colleges and universities will offer an annual, renewable scholarship that covers a minimum of 50 percent of recipients’ tuition.

“Shoreline Community College is proud to be the first community college to help launch the #YouAreWelcomeHere scholarship, advancing our College’s commitment to all students and embracing our global interconnectedness,” said President Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.

Shoreline will award a scholarship covering 50% of college-level tuition to two students for two years. The scholarship is open to all international student applicants in F-1 status who attended high school overseas, and the award may be applied to all areas of college-level study (i.e. excluding ESL or pre-college coursework).

“Especially in the wake of the anti-immigrant rhetoric coming from our policy leaders, it’s vital that U.S. institutions find ways to make international students and scholars feel welcome and valued on our campuses and in our communities,” stated Esther D. Brimmer, executive director and CEO of NAFSA: Association of International Educators. “We need more programs like this one that encourage international students to choose the United States as their study destination. Investing in international education will ensure our nation remains globally competitive and engaged, and I am heartened to see the U.S. higher education community take a proactive stance in this effort.”

International students interested in applying for the scholarship at Shoreline Community College can learn more and apply online. Applications will be accepted through March 29, 2019.
