University of North Carolina: Chapel Hill

The University is a doctoral/research-extensive university. Fundamental to this designation is a faculty actively involved in research, scholarship and creative work, whose teaching is transformed by discovery and whose service is informed by current knowledge. The mission of the University is to serve all the people of the state, and indeed the nation, as a center for scholarship and creative endeavor. The University exists to teach students at all levels in an environment of research, free inquiry and personal responsibility; to expand the body of knowledge; to improve the condition of human life through service and publication; and to enrich the culture.

The university has a rather general web page devoted to scholarships from outside sources. However, there doesn't appear to be anything focused specifically for international students. Even the immigration pages on this university website were minimal.
