Cedarville's International Student Income Form is used to determine ability to pay as well as eligibility for need-based institutional scholarships. Some private organizations and foundations within the U.S. also provide financial assistance to international students, but these grants and scholarships are also very limited.

The three awards are for Freshmen, Transfer and Post-bacc (second bachelor) level students. They are currently awarded similarly (3.30-3.59GPA = $1000/sem) and (3.60-4.00GPA = $2000/sem), but the renewal period varies. Freshmen can renew up to a full four years, Transfers up to three years, and Post-bacc up to two years just by maintaining their WSU cumulative grade point at a 3.2.
