Private scholarships are those offered from organizations, foundations or companies, usually not affiliated with a university. Private donor scholarships are those offered from CBU donors and alumni. You can find many scholarships based on your personal traits, hobbies or planned major. The more effort you put into your search and applications, the more likely you are to get scholarships. Please note that not all private scholarships in the United States or private donor scholarships pertain to International students. Students should check eligibility for any scholarships.
