List of some US universities that waive GRE, TOEFL and IELTS for scholarship applications

Obtaining a fully funded scholarship in the United States in the absence of GRE, TOEFL/IELTS may seem like an impossible task. But it is only impossible without the necessary information to go about it.

The Covid 19 pandemic that hit the world a few years back can well be likened to a blessing in disguise in this case – because, the pandemic brought about restructuring in some university’s admission requirements.

In this respect, below are the universities that these waivers apply to.

Graduate Record Examinations (GRE)

This government-sanctioned test is a major prerequisite for some Master’s level universities in the United States. Listed below are universities that waive GRE.

  • Purdue University
  • Massachusetts Institute Of Technology
  • New-York University

IELTS/TOEFL

This English Proficiency test is also a very important prerequisite in getting fully-funded scholarships in the USA. However, if you have a Bachelor’s degree in English, then IELTS is not necessary.

If you do not, you can always request an English competence certification from your previous institution verifying you’ve studied in an English-speaking country.
