International Student Scholarships
Our merit scholarships are designed to reward those students who have been academically dedicated and engaged in their educational experience. These scholarships are awarded each year to new, undergraduate first-year and transfer international students who attend full-time. All GPA equivalencies are calculated on a 4.0 scale. Scholarships are determined at admission, and there is no separate application process. Scholarships are renewable each year as long as a student is enrolled full-time and maintains a 2.0 grade point average.
- Deans Scholarship: First year and transfer students with an equivalent GPA of 3.8 or higher may receive up to $19,000 annually.
- Academic Excellence Scholarship: First year and transfer students with an equivalent GPA between 3.40 and 3.799 may receive up to $17,000 annually.
- Founders Award: First year and transfer students with an equivalent GPA between 3.0 and 3.399 may receive up to $16,000 annually.
- Recognition Award: First year and transfer students with an equivalent GPA between 2.65 and 2.999 may receive up to $15,000 annually.
