The International Student Excellence Scholarship — created by ISSS with community partners through an endowment fund — rewards high-achieving F-1 international students at UofSC Columbia. Two awards of $500/academic year ($250/semester) are made annually (one graduate, one undergraduate); the award may also reduce tuition substantially. Awardees demonstrate academic excellence, community engagement, and leadership, with financial need also considered.

This scholarship is currently closed. Based on its annual cycle, applications are expected to reopen around May 2026 — the exact date is set when the provider publishes the next cycle. Check the provider website for the next cycle, or see similar open opportunities below.
