Can international students get scholarships at Harvey Mudd College?

As an international student interested in Harvey Mudd College, I'm curious about scholarship opportunities. Does Harvey Mudd offer any scholarships to international applicants? If so, what's the application process like?

Indeed, Harvey Mudd College does provide scholarship opportunities to international students, just like it does for domestic students. The school follows a need-blind admission policy and commits to meet full demonstrated financial need for all admitted students, including internationals.

The major form of support is through Harvey Mudd scholarships, which are need-based, meaning they take into account an applicant's financial situation. The amount will vary depending on the demonstrated need of the student.

You may wonder about the application process for financial aid. Once you're accepted into Harvey Mudd, you will need to submit the CSS Profile to be considered for financial aid. The CSS Profile collects in-depth information about your family's financial situation, and the college uses this information to determine your financial need. It's best to submit the CSS Profile at around the same time you submit your application, or at least by the deadlines mentioned on the college's website.

Also, Harvey Mudd does not engage in "gap" financing, which means the school doesn't leave a gap between the cost of attendance and the financial aid offered. They aim to make attending as affordable as possible for all admitted students.

Keep in mind, there are other possibilities to fund your education like work-study programs, part-time work, or potential external scholarships.

While Harvey Mudd does have multinational students on campus, the competition is intense given the small size and selective nature of the school. Keep this in mind as you apply, but don't be deterred—every application has the potential to be the one that stands out! Good luck with your application process.
