A diverse international presence is important to Wittenberg's mission. The University is committed to assisting highly qualified international students in financing their education.
Merit-based scholarships are available to all international applicants. Scholarships for international students begin at $17,000.
Scholarship Eligibility Requirements. Students must:
- Demonstrate academic achievement, personal success, co-curricular involvement, and financial need.
- Meet minimum admission requirements
Additional Financial Aid Information:
- Wittenberg is an NCAA Division III school; therefore, athletic scholarships are not offered.
- The Admission Committee will request additional information from qualifying students.
- Student loans are generally not available for international students.
- Campus employment is available to students with financial need. Students who receive it as part of their financial aid package will have the opportunity to apply for employment on campus. The maximum amount a student can earn from a campus job is $2,000 per year. That is the equivalent of working approximately eight hours each week.
- Upon acceptance to Wittenberg, students will be provided with a financial aid estimate, determined from the reported information included in the International Student Financial Aid Application (ISFAA). In order to receive an official financial aid award from Wittenberg, accepted students must provide financial verification by completing the required international student financial verification paperwork.
Family Financial Contribution Requirement:
Wittenberg seeks to meet the financial need of each student. Because there is a limit to the amount of money that can be awarded, if a student's needs are too high, that student's application may be declined and the scholarship allocated to a student whose financial need Wittenberg can meet. The smaller the student's need, the more likely it is that we will be able to meet that financial need. Applicants demonstrating less than US $20,000 per year will not be considered or accepted. Those in need of high financial assistance are encouraged to pursue other schools where more financial assistance is offered.
