San Francisco State University

San Francisco State University, located in one of the world's most vibrant and beautiful cities, is a recognized leader in addressing issues both global and close to home.

In the global arena, SF State enrolls the largest number of international students at any comprehensive university in the U.S., and ranks second among U.S. universities for the number of students who study abroad for an academic year. With a diverse range of students from almost every state and nearly 100 countries, the University community is a perfect setting for learning to succeed in a pluralistic society and global economy. Our highly diverse campus consistently ranks in the top 20 nationwide in awarding undergraduate degrees to minorities.

The Office of Student Financial Aid recognizes the limited number of scholarships available to international students attending San Francisco State University, thus the Scholarship Team is continuing to research and identify these scholarships.

It is recommended that students apply for scholarships that do not specifically state that being a United States citizen or permanent resident is required. From the scholarship database, you may find scholarships for international students for campus and outside scholarships, where the row "Citizenship" indicates "Any" from the scholarship database results. Check periodically as we continue to identify scholarships for international students.
