International Financial Aid
International Financial Aid
In order to bring a truly international and diverse group of students to campus, the college provides financial aid for international students. Along with your academic and extracurricular interests, we consider your ability to contribute towards the cost of your education.
International Student Financial Aid Application
To apply for need-based financial aid, international students must submit the International Student Financial Aid Application. The Certificate of Finances must also be submitted. It is preferred that students submit the Certificate of Finances upon application, but is not required until a student submits their enrollment deposit to Wooster.
Its important that you fill out this document accurately and completely. Incorrect or incomplete information can negatively affect your offer of admission and award of financial aid.
Types of Financial Aid Available
Wooster Grants
Wooster awards grants based on need to strong international applicants. This scholarship money does not need to be re-paid.
Work-Study
Students can find campus jobs that pay an hourly wage. Most student jobs pay US $7.30/hour. Under US immigration law, international students can work up to 20 hours a week while classes are in session.
Financial Aid Awards
Financial aid awarded to international students is largely based on your family's financial circumstances. Most of our admitted international students will be able to contribute over 50% of the comprehensive cost of attendance.
We offer a very limited number of financial aid awards that exceed $30,000 per year, including two that cover the comprehensive cost of attendance (tuition, room & board).
We're not able to offer financial aid awards that cover airfare or incidentals once you arrive at the college.
