I'm curious about Ave Maria University and any financial aid they offer for international students. Are there scholarships that can help cover tuition for someone from outside the US? Any information would be awesome!
Yes, Ave Maria University does offer various scholarships for international students. They have both academic and athletic scholarships on offer.
Academic scholarships are typically awarded on the basis of your high school grades and achievements. Students with exceptional academic records, or "high-achieving" international students as Ave Maria likes to call them, may qualify for the Presidential, Trustees, Founders or Scholastica scholarships. These scholarships can provide significant aid, ranging from $6,000 to full tuition, and are renewable for up to 4 years as long as you maintain a certain GPA.
Athletic scholarships, on the other hand, are available to students who participate in intercollegiate sports at Ave Maria. The value of these scholarships varies, so you would need to reach out to the coach of your respective sport to check on availability and amount.
That said, for all scholarships, you should carefully review the eligibility criteria, as some may require students to maintain a certain grade point average, participate in specific activities, or meet other conditions.
Even with scholarship assistance, remember that other costs such as room and board, fees, and books can add up, so it's important to plan for these expenses as well. Use the net cost calculator on the Ave Maria University's website to get an accurate estimate of what you can expect to pay after scholarships and other forms of financial aid.
I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck in your academic journey!
