The truth is most fully funded opportunities in the U.S. are for PhDs, not master’s. With just your bachelor’s, you can apply directly to PhD programs, and they will cover tuition, health insurance, and give you a stipend. You don’t need a master’s first. This is the best and most realistic path if your main goal is full funding. Here is a list of fully funded PhD programs: https://stan.store/williamlebeau/p/list-of-30-phd-programs-in-usa-with-full-funding However, if you are set on a master’s, then you’ll need to target the few programs that fund all admitted students (like Princeton SPIA, MIT Media Lab, Notre Dame Keough, Curtis Institute) or apply for fellowships like Fulbright or the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program (for African students). 👉 I put everything into a guide with the exact schools, fellowships, and deadlines: https://stan.store/williamlebeau/p/masters-degrees-that-fund-international-students If you want to see me applying to a Master's Degree, then watch this video here: https://youtu.be/F2rHAcpUkcs Also, you are able to get a full funding loan for your master's degree in America.

These schools allow international students who have already attended university to apply as first-year students instead of transfers. This matters because first-year applicants typically have access to full need-based financial aid, while international transfer students often receive less aid. Prior credits generally won't transfer, so you're essentially starting from fresh. - Dartmouth College - Amherst College - Wellesley College - Soka University of America - Thomas Aquinas College - Deep Springs College
