No additional application is required for the merit-based scholarships as all applicants for admission are automatically considered. However, if you wish to apply for need-based financial aid, please complete the ISFAA (International Student Financial Aid Application).

The specific amounts of scholarship money and financial aid received are different for each applicant and we work on a case-by-case basis. The range of financial assistance in 2020-2021 for international students is between $5,000 and $45,000 per year with an average scholarship of $30,000 per year.

Full scholarships are not available at Ohio Wesleyan and some family contribution is required each year. For more specific questions, please contact the Office of International Admission at [email protected].
