Ndombe-Carrère International Scholarship
Students who cross borders and continents to pursue education bring more than ambition. They carry perspective, resilience, and a desire to shape a better future across cultures.
This Ndombe-Carrère International Scholarship celebrates international students who are boldly building their lives in the United States, navigating a new system while staying rooted in who they are. Whether you’re finding your voice in a new language, balancing multiple worlds, or using your unique lens to lead, create, or connect, your story matters.
We’re looking to support international undergraduate students currently studying in the U.S. at Cal Poly Humboldt (School must be listed on profile as "Humboldt State University"). Students should embody curiosity, determination, and a spirit of possibility. You don’t need perfect grades or a fixed career path, but we’d like to understand your academic journey so far, what you’re studying, how it’s going (including grades), and where you hope it might lead.
To apply, we strongly prefer a 2–4-minute video so we can hear from you directly. But if you’re unable to record a video, you may submit a written essay instead. In either format, help us get to know you: What have you overcome? What are you proud of? What do you hope to build?
If submitting a video, provide a YouTube link or a Google Drive link (make sure sharing settings allow anyone with the link to view). Write “Submitted via video link” in the essay box.
Tell us your story in your own voice and your own way.
