Merit-Based Scholarships for International Students
Earn Up to 70% Off Tuition
International students, those with visas to study, are eligible for merit-based scholarships once they complete their application. We offer merit-based scholarships from 10-70% off tuition and the average scholarship award is 50-60%.
We do not offer full ride scholarships. All scholarships are based on merit.
Merit-based scholarships are issued at the time of admission and outlined in your admission letter. These merit-based scholarships are renewable for up to eight semesters (four years of study) or until graduation, whichever comes first, as long as students maintain a 2.0 or higher GPA.
Please note that a merit-based scholarship only applies to tuition. There are living costs that are also required in addition to the cost of tuition - see details below. (NOTE that the Cost of Attendance for domestic students varies slightly from the Cost of Attendance for international students.)
