Applying for international student scholarships at Cedarville University?

I'm considering Cedarville University, but being an international student, I'm really interested in finding out about the scholarships available. What are the eligibility criteria and how competitive is it to receive one?

Cedarville University offers several scholarships for international students. Here's some information about their international student scholarships.

1. International Student Grant: All international students studying at Cedarville on an F-1 visa are eligible for the International Student Grant. The award ranges from $5,000 - $15,000 based on your high school performance and SAT or ACT scores if available. You don't have to apply separately; you will be considered for this grant when you apply for admission.

2. Academic Scholarships: Depending on your academic performance, you could also be eligible for various academic scholarships that Cedarville offers. These scholarships can range from $3,000 to full tuition.

3. OneCampus Scholarship: This is a unique scholarship where Cedarville matches up to $1,000 of your church's contribution toward your Cedarville education.

4. Christian Ministry Scholarships: These are available for children of full-time overseas missionaries, pastors, youth pastors, and ministry staff.

The competitiveness of these scholarships can vary. While every international student is eligible for the International Student Grant, academic scholarships may be more competitive due to their larger value and because they are based on academic performance. It's important to maintain a strong academic record to increase your chances of receiving these scholarships.

As for the eligibility criteria, each scholarship has its own criteria. For example, the Academic scholarships are usually contingent on meeting certain academic standards, while the Christian Ministry Scholarships have requirements related to your parents' employment. It's best to review the specific criteria on Cedarville University's website or contact the financial aid office directly for the most accurate and comprehensive information. The most important aspect, though, is to ensure that you apply well before the deadlines.
