Scholarships and Financial Aid
The 2020-2021 cost for tuition, fees, room, meal plan, health insurance, and estimated amounts for books and personal spending is $61,538. Last year, the average financial award (scholarship and grant) for international students was $30,000.
Earlham considers each international application for merit scholarship and institutional grant.
Merit scholarships are awarded to students who have distinguished themselves academically. This year, the merit scholarships are $20,000 - $30,000, and are awarded for up to eight semesters if GPA requirements are maintained.
Institutional grants are awarded based on demonstrated financial need and academic accomplishments.
Earlham does not award scholarships or grants for room, food, and other costs (such as books, personal items, flights to/from campus, and other indirect costs). Students and families need to be able to contribute at least $25,000.
Every international applicant must complete the International Student Financial Aid Application (ISFAA) and submit supporting financial documents such as bank statements or letters of employment. We cannot evaluate an application without these documents.
Please note: The International Financial Aid Committee determines the level of merit scholarship and institutional grant.
Send all inquiries about international financial aid to Susan Hillmann de Castaneda, Director of International Admissions (intl-admissions@earlham.edu).
