J1 SIM cards, primarily used by exchange visitors in the U.S., do not typically qualify for traditional scholarships. However, users may explore alternative funding options to offset costs. Mobile carriers like T-Mobile or AT&T occasionally offer discounts or promotions for international students and exchange visitors.
Nonprofit organizations, such as the Institute of International Education (IIE), sometimes provide stipends for communication expenses. Additionally, universities or sponsoring agencies may include SIM card allowances in their funding packages. Checking with your program coordinator or carrier for tailored plans can help reduce expenses without direct scholarships.
