Scholarship Information & Deadlines for International Students
This page applies only to international students applying to the traditional day program. Evening or online students please click here.
Students must apply for admission and be accepted to the traditional day program before any scholarship or grant can be awarded. The priority scholarship deadline for most scholarships is February 1. Funds may not be available after that date. Most awards are available on a first come, first-served basis, so it is important to act quickly even if you make your final decision later. This applies to all students whether you plan to apply in the fall or spring semester.
Only U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents are eligible for need-based U.S. federal or state government financial aid, including grants and loans. There is no application form for scholarships. Requirements for each award are in the eligibility section.
APPLY EARLY FOR ALL SCHOLARSHIPS DEADLINES ARE IMPORTANT
