Merit scholarships for International Students

Our honor scholarships are one of  the oldest merit awards in the country. Looking to recognize applicants for their outstanding academic and extracurricular achievement, demonstrated leadership, and commitment to their communities, we offer merit scholarships to international applicants. Merit scholarships are partial-tuition scholarships that may be a single lump-sum award, or a renewable annual award. Merit scholarships are considered independent of an applicant’s financial situation, so if an applicant thinks he or she may require financial assistance to fund his or her college education, the applicant must submit an application for need-based financial aid. Applicants should not rely on merit scholarships to fund their college education.

To be considered for a merit scholarship, simply check the box on the Common Application
