Undergrad: Financial aid from Goshen Coll., USA

Limited financial aid is available for students with demonstrated need and academic excellence. Please ask for information about such aid if you need it. Goshen College does NOT offer full scholarships.

Undergrad: Financial aid from Luther College, USA

Financing a Luther Education

Every year, Luther awards a significant amount of financial aid to entering international students. Funds are awarded for full-time study during the nine-month academic year on the basis of academic merit and family financial need. A typical academic award usually combines scholarships and grant money (which does not have to be repaid) with on-campus work.

Luther College's funds for international students are not limitless, however. In general, students should expect to pay for a portion (up to one half or more) of their own educational expenses through family funds and/or aid programs offered through local or national churches, government agencies, and cultural organizations.

To apply for financial aid as an international student, you must submit a completed, signed, and verified International Student Financial Aid Application (ISFAA) (application.pdf), indicating your ability to finance your travel to and study at Luther College.

In addition to the ISFAA, you should submit certified bank statements, parental wage statements, or other documents that provide evidence of your ability to finance a portion of the costs related to your studies. You must also submit the application for admission and other documents as outlined at www.luther.edu/admissions/international/process/.

Undergrad: Financial assistance from Gustavus Adolphus College, USA

Costs and Financial Assistance

Ultimately, your college decision should incorporate a variety of factors. We understand that the cost of an education is an important factor for most students. The comprehensive fee at Gustavus Adolphus College for the 2009-2010 academic year is $40,010. This figure includes tuition ($31,460), room ($5,000), meals ($2,900) and fees for orientation, transcripts, wellness, and student government ($650). We estimate an additional cost of $900 for books and supplies, $700 for health insurance, and $910 in personal expenses. Travel costs vary greatly.

Gustavus has good scholarships and student employment for international students. The primary purpose of our financial aid program at Gustavus is to provide financial aid to students who, without such aid, would be unable to attend Gustavus. When family resources do not meet our costs, we strive fill in the gap with financial aid. But even with our most significant scholarship award and student employment, you and your family or sponsor will need to contribute much of the cost of your education.

For those who are able to fund an education here, we believe that a Gustavus education is a wise investment. While you should choose the college that fits you best, there are real differences in quality – from important statistical differences like class size and graduation rates to more intangible differences like faculty contact and college character.

The four-year graduation rate at Gustavus is 80%. Other four-year graduation rates are: 17% (national average), 21% (Minnesota State Colleges and Universities), 30% (University of Minnesota), 34% (all U.S. private colleges), and 61% (Minnesota private colleges).

Our average class size is 15. Student to faculty ratio is 12:1. Zero classes are taught by teaching assistants. 50% of students have internships and 60% study abroad.

With our full-service Career Center and the distinctive Center for Vocational Reflection, recent Gustavus graduates are winning competitive jobs and admission to top graduate schools. Our average placement within six months of graduation is 98%.

Our freshman-to-sophomore retention rate is above 90%. Not only does this demonstrate that Gustavus turns out to be a great fit for most students but also that the College remains financially accessible year after year.

Undergrad: Grant assistance from Bethany College, USA-up to $9K USD/year

Bethany also provides limited grant assistance for students with demonstrated financial need. All students applying for admission should submit the Certificate of Financial Support Form.

Undergrad: Murdoch International Discoverers’ Scholarship Scheme up to A$5,500/yr, Australia

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — Australia’s Murdoch University will start offering scholarships of up to A$5,500 (RM16,797) for eligible students next year, to pre-empt a possible drop in foreign enrolments due to rising academic costs Down Under.

Since 2003, the Australian dollar has climbed steadily against the ringgit, gaining as much as 13 per cent at the current RM2.81. At the same time, the UK — another favoured destination of Malaysian students — has seen the sterling pound slide from RM6.20 then to present RM4.88.

The university’s senior deputy vice chancellor Gary Martin said the new Murdoch International Discoverers’ Scholarship Scheme is part of its internationalisation programme and will apply to a wide range of Murdoch courses at the undergraduate level.

He said the partial scholarships were only available to students who applied for entry to Murdoch University for commencement in 2011 and that the scholarships would be used to offset the annual published course fees for the duration of the degrees.

“Under the scheme, all students who meet university entry requirements and are made an offer by the university will automatically be awarded the part tuition fee scholarship,” Martin said in a statement.

“Depending on the course selected, the scheme allowed for a reduction in annual course fees by between A$500 and A$5500,” he added.

Martin added that the Murdoch International Discoverers’ Scholarship Scheme was one of a number of initiatives that the University had developed to enhance international students’ experiences at Murdoch.

“We have also introduced a dedicated 24/7 Student Support telephone service, the first in Australia, so that international students can be reassured that whatever the time of day or night, they can contact somebody if there is a need,” he said.

Among other facilities in the campus will be the new Student Centre where students can seek advice on courses offered and visa-related matters.

Undergrad: Financial Aid from Graceland U., USA

  • Over 99 percent of Graceland students receive financial assistance, including International students.
  • Graceland awards are available for exceptional achievement in everything from academics to athletics and fine arts.
  • We offer federal and state grants, loans, and work-study for those who are eligible.

  • Academic scholarships ($1,000-$10,000) are awarded as part of the admission process.

  • Students granted an F-1 Visa may work up to 20 hours per week on campus during the school year and full-time during vacation periods.

Family Resources

  • Families should document their ability to provide a minimum level of support. Please consult the Declaration of Finances Form to determine the minimum level of support that families can expect to provide if the student does not receive any scholarship awards.
  • Someone choosing to sponsor a student's room and board should submit our Sponsor form.

Further scholarship Information and Application

Financial Aid for International Students, Southern New Hampshire University , USA

UFinancial assistance for International Students applying to Southern New Hampshire University is limited. Most forms of financial aid are subsidized by the U.S. Government, and therefore, are open only to U.S. citizens. International students, however, are eligible for the following:

1. Student Employment
Any full-time student is able to work on campus for a maximum of 20 hours per week when classes are in session. Jobs are available on campus, but it may not be possible to have a full twenty hours all the time; new students may have difficulty finding a job. Therefore, earnings from employment should always be viewed as a supplement and never as being crucial to meeting the expenses of studying in the U.S. because of its unpredictability.

2. Resident Assistant
Openings to be a Residence Assistant become available from time to time. These positions require living in a campus residence hall and being responsible for assisting students on a floor. RA awards include a scholarship, a stipend, and a reduced rate on a single room accommodation. Normally a student will not be eligible until after their first year.

3. Academic Scholarships
New international students are now eligible for a merit scholarship award of U.S.$1,000. This will be awarded at U.S.$500 per semester. All accepted Undergraduate School applicants whose academic background is of sufficiently high quality as to be considered equivalent to a minimum of a 3.0 grade point average in the U. S. educational system will automatically be eligible for this award depending on the availability of funds. The level of equivalency will be determined by the Director of International Admissions.
Eligible students will be asked to complete and submit an application form. The awards will be given only to those students who have completed the application and returned it to the Office of International Admissions no later than sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of the semester as indicated on the I-20. Students who enter the Intensive English Program first, or who begin studies in our summer school will have their awards deferred to the term in which they begin full-time Undergraduate studies, either September or January.

Late applications will not be considered for this award under the Academic Scholarship Program. No exceptions will be made.

Students who continue at Southern New Hampshire University will be eligible each year for additional awards under the Academic Scholarship Program. Continuing students who achieve a grade point average between 3.0 and 3.49 will be eligible to receive U.S.$1,000. Continuing students who achieve a grade point average of 3.5 to 4.0 will be eligible to receive U.S.$1,500. These will be awarded on a semester basis.

4. International Student Scholarships
Several scholarships are available exclusively for International Students and are based on both merit and need. Typically 4-5 five thousand dollar award are made. These are renewable based on maintaining a GPA of 2.5.

5. Athletic Scholarships
Athletic scholarships are available to outstanding athletes in basketball, cross-country, lacrosse, soccer (football), tennis, baseball, softball, and volleyball. Scholarship amounts vary.
International Student Loan Program

Do you have family or friends living permanently in the USA?

The International Student Loan Program offers loans for up to the full cost of your education. Repayment terms are up to 25 years. This loan is available for both graduate and undergraduate programs, but not for Intensive English. The primary condition is that the student has a family member or friend who is a citizen or permanent resident of the US. That person must be willing to co-sign or guarantee the loan.

Undergrad Need Scholarships at Harvey Mudd College, USA

What funds are available to international students?
As an international student, you’re not eligible to apply for federal or state financial aid. However, HMC does provide financial support for a limited number of international students each year. We offer awards for international students, including the need-based International Student Scholarship and some merit award programs, one that is specifically designated for international students (the So Scholarship). If you will need financial support, you should apply for financial aid at the same time that you apply for admission. If you don’t apply for or receive financial aid as a first-year, you won’t be considered for financial aid in future years at HMC. Once you are awarded aid, your financial need will be assessed annually; however, your maximum annual award will be limited to the amount granted in the first year at HMC. Thus, if costs increase while you are attending HMC, your family should expect to contribute more to your educational costs. The number of awards and the maximum awards are set annually based upon available funding.

Undergrad: Financial aid from Gettysburg College, USA

Gettysburg College embraces diversity and has a strong commitment to our international students. We strive to meet the demonstrated financial need for all admitted international students; however, the financial aid process is highly competitive and funds are limited.

International students who are applying for financial aid should submit the International Student Financial Aid Application and the Certification of Finances Form for the 2010-11 academic year.

Gettysburg College awards financial aid based on financial need. Once need is determined, academic achievement, scholastic aptitude, and promise of contribution as a student and citizen are factors used to determine financial aid awards.

International students have the potential to receive a grant amount equal to full tuition but that is not ordinarily the case. Awards of loan and employment are usually part of a financial aid package. There is also an expectation that families will contribute to the student's educational costs.

Applicants will receive a financial aid decision with their admissions acceptance letter if the financial aid paperwork is on file at the College. Otherwise the financial aid decision will be made as soon as possible after the materials are received by the College.

Financial aid decisions for continuing students will be mailed after June 1.

All applicants applying for financial aid must complete the International Student Application for Financial Aid and Scholarships, which is sent with the Grinnell College Application for Admission, or the College Board's International Student Financial Aid Application. There are no additional forms required for any of the categories of financial aid listed below. The Admission Committee will automatically consider you for the scholarship if you are eligible.
