Does anyone have a list of external fellowships/scholarships that us international students are eligible for? I am struggling a bit to find some for myself. A little about me: -F1 student currently in the U.S. (not eligible for Fulbright) -Latina -PhD applicant -STEM (biotechnology, molecular pharmacology, molecular biology) Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! Undergrad Institution: Big state school in the EastMajor(s): BiotechnologyMinor(s): MicrobiologyGPA in Major: 3.25Overall GPA: 3.08 Upper Division GPA: 3.6Type of Student: International, Female, Hispanic/Latina GRE Scores: have not taken yet; most programs do not require yet, not sure what I will do yet.Research Experience: 3 years of biotechnology industry (industry leader in the technology it utilizes) experience testing the potency of drug candidates on cancerous cell lines. Subject matter expert in cell banking, a lot of experience with mammalian cells. Have developed various assays to test drug candidates. I have worked now on 2 FDA-approved cancer drugs. Presented 2 posters at the company-wide conference (1 first author, 1 fourth author). 3 summers as an intern for a dermatology clinic. Performed research on common dermatological conditions as well as assisted with the evaluation of legal drug candidates. No publications. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Dean's list for 4 semesters. Company award for performance exceeding expectations of job.Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Organic Chemistry Learning Assistant (undergrad "TA"): 1 year Chemistry Proctor: 2 years Unrelated research experience (brain plasticity in bilingual speakers): 1 year Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Part of the team responsible for 2 FDA-approved cancer drugs.Special Bonus Points: fluent in 3 languages, international student orientation leader, VP of the international student association, selected as member of the student conduct board. I should have very strong LORs (2 from industry supervisors, one from a biotechnology professor). Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: I was initially an engineering major, hence the low GPA. Very obvious upward trend in my grades/GPA once I switched to science. All As and Bs other than Chemistry and Calculus. Obtained a C in Chemistry 1 and 2 in the first year of my undergrad. Obtained an A in Organic Chemistry and was selected as a Learning Assistant (undergrad "TA") in my last year of undergrad. Another comeback!Applying to Where (will apply to 10-12, still narrowing it down):UCLA - Bioscience/Molecular Pharmacology (reach) USC - Pharmaceutical and Translational Sciences (reach) UCSD - Biological Sciences (reach) University of Miami - Biomedical Science (mid to reach?) UCSB - Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology (mid?) UCI - Pharmacological Sciences/Pharmacology (mid?) UC Riverside - Cell, Molecular & Developmental Biology (mid?) San Diego State - Molecular Biology (mid?) Chapman University - Pharmaceutical Sciences (mid?) Nova Southeastern - Pharmaceutical Science (safe?) Florida International University - Biology or Biochemistry, still unsure (safety) University of South Florida - Cell & Molecular Biology (safety) Cal State LA - Biology M.S. (safety) Cal State Long Beach - Biology M.S. (safety) Could any of you chance me on the above schools or recommend me any programs that could be a good fit for me? I think I might have too many reach schools and not enough safeties. I am interested in Molecular Biology and Pharmacology. Any program that would be a good basis to be an active participant in target identification, drug discovery, etc. I am hoping to join a PhD program but will be applying to 2 master's programs as safety in order to become a stronger candidate for a PhD. Also, please let me know if I have incorrectly identified any of the programs above as reach/mid/safety. TIA!
