The requirements for the submission of standardized English language test scores are considered a huge barrier for many international students who desire to study psychology abroad. But, there is good news for international students, as there are a number of institutions in English-speaking countries that offer scholarships for programs like Psychology and also grant waivers for language test requirements. This makes admission to these schools more accessible to foreign students from non-English-speaking countries. Here is a list of some universities in Canada and the United States that offer Psychology scholarships to international students without IELTS requirements.
