Details

The SUU International Student Scholarship Committee considers a number of factors when awarding scholarships including academic merit (GPA), geographic distribution, and financial need. Awardees typically have a 3.0 GPA. International Student Scholarships cannot be combined with other substantial SUU tuition scholarships. International Student Scholarships can be awarded to students interested in entering SUU’s ESL program but the scholarship will not be paid until the student begins full time undergraduate or graduate studies.

How to Apply

Priority consideration is given to applicants that apply by March 1 for fall semester and October 1 for spring semester. There is not a separate application and all applicants are automatically considered.
