Ò°ÀÇÉçÇø

Ò°ÀÇÉçÇø is committed to diversity and we understand affordability is an important consideration in the college search process. Ò°ÀÇÉçÇø offered over $2.4 million in merit-based scholarships and need-based financial assistance to international students admitted last year. Ò°ÀÇÉçÇø meets demonstrated need for admitted international students on student visas, often through a combination of merit scholarships, institutional financial aid, and work study. Our international admission process is need-aware and admission is extremely competitive for international students seeking significant financial aid.

All applicants are automatically considered for general merit scholarships that range up to $37,000 per year. All international applicants must complete the Ò°ÀÇÉçÇø Non-Citizen Financial Supplement, a free form available in their Ò°ÀÇÉçÇø portal after they submit the Common Application, and submit a bank statement supporting their available funding. Ò°ÀÇÉçÇø does not require the CSS Profile for international students.

For the 2024-25 school year, Ò°ÀÇÉçÇø tuition and fees are $57,110, housing and meal plan are $13,620 and international health insurance is $1600 ($72,330 total for I-20 purposes). Ò°ÀÇÉçÇø’ financial aid does not include transportation, textbooks, SEVIS fees, housing costs during winter or summer breaks and other personal expenses. Ò°ÀÇÉçÇø financial aid is renewable, so assuming satisfactory academic progress, the student should have the same financial aid package for all four years.
