UPDATE:
After the comments below - I have contacted the administrator of the program to check about international applications.
Here is what I found out:
Melinda Cloud, of Eli Lilly, wrote to me today by email:
The scholarship program is open to everyone worldwide. It will cover tuition in any country at an accredited school with an accredited program.
So, if you meet the criteria of the scholarship - do apply, even if you are not in the US.

Hi Karla,
The short answer to your question is: I’m not sure.
I have gone through the website, and included a link to the application form.
SInce it is not totally clear to me if Canadians, Europeans, etc. are allowed to apply, I sent an email to the administrator of the program.
As soon as I know the answer - I will post it here as another comment, or add it to the body of the post.
Thanks,
Dr. Kenny
