University of Arizona

Arizona is a public land-grant research university at Tucson with over 7,000 international students, consistently ranked among the top 250 universities globally, with partnerships including NASA and numerous observatories. Its international funding is automatic, banded by grade average, and among the widest ranges recorded. The Global Wildcat Award runs from roughly USD 5,000 to USD 23,000 a year for first-year applicants, with 'eligibility conferred automatically along with their application, at the time of submission' and no separate form. The award is calculated from the applicant's grade average 'converted to the US GPA system during the admission process'. Arizona reported supporting '82 percent of undergraduate New First Year and Transfer international students with financial aid'. Two firm limits apply: offers are non-negotiable and will not be increased to match other institutions, and the award cannot be combined with most other tuition awards, including, explicitly, any sponsored students.
