Although Mount Union does not offer full-tuition financial aid to international students, we do offer need-based financial aid and academic merit awards to qualifying students.
Need-based Financial Aid
Upon admission, need-based financial aid is determined by the income and assets of students and their families. To qualify, students must complete the "International Student Financial Aid Application" which is available from Mount Union College or The College Board. Students who qualify may obtain an average of $12,000 in a Mount Union College International Grant and an additional $1,400 by working at a part-time job on campus. Therefore, the average need-based financial aid package available from Mount Union College is $13,400. Since the total cost of the 2007-08 Academic Year is $28,750, international students receiving the average of need-based financial aid are paying only $15,350 for tuition, fees, room and meals. The student who qualifies for a partial academic merit-based scholarship could pay less if financial need is demonstrated from the results of the International Student Financial Aid Application.
Merit-based Awards (Scholarships)
Upon admission, a number of academic merit awards are given automatically to those who qualify based on a review of student's academic credentials such as curriculum, grade point average, ACT/SAT and high school rank. The awards are renewable each year (maximum of eight semesters) as long as the student is full-time (minimum of 12 hours).
