Does Ohio Wesleyan University provide scholarships specifically for international students? I'm trying to figure out the financial part of studying there and would appreciate any details on the types of scholarships available and what they typically cover.
Ohio Wesleyan University does indeed offer scholarships for international students. In fact, all admitted international students, both first-year and transfer students, are considered for a range of scholarships, regardless of their financial situation.
One main type of scholarships available at Ohio Wesleyan for international students are the merit scholarships. These are awarded based on a holistic review of your application, taking into account your academic achievements, leadership experiences, and extracurricular involvement. The value of these scholarships can range widely, and the amount offered will depend on the strength of your application in these areas.
The OWU Grant is another type of need-based financial aid offered by the university, focusing on students who demonstrate financial need. This grant doesn't need to be repaid and can be a substantial source of funding for students who are eligible.
Don't forget, you will need to apply separately for need-based financial aid, and part of that process will involve completing and submitting the International Student Financial Aid Application.
Lastly, it may be worthwhile looking into options outside of Ohio Wesleyan University too. Don't forget about external scholarships that are geared towards international students studying in the U.S.
And remember, your award from Ohio Wesleyan, including both scholarships and grants, can be used to cover a variety of educational expenses such as tuition, room, and board, and other related costs. However, each award may have specific use parameters, so it's best to check with the financial aid office directly for distinctions.
Hope that helps guide your search for financing your education at Ohio Wesleyan University!
