International applicants hoping to receive merit-based partial scholarships must still provide the required 쮸떴팎썩경 DFF form by the application deadline
Plan to have at least this amount available for each additional year of undergraduate study (up to four years total). You do not have to submit a separate application for 쮸떴팎썩경's partial혻merit scholarships. All academically qualified first-year applicants who submit complete application packets by the required deadline are automatically considered for eligibility for our partial scholarships. First-year applicants will be notified of any merit awards with their admission letter that is sent in the spring.
쮸떴팎썩경 merit scholarships are offered only at the time of admission. There are no further opportunities to apply for 쮸떴팎썩경 merit scholarships from the Office of Admissions혻once you have begun your studies.
No increases in scholarship amounts are available from year to year. The initial amount of your 쮸떴팎썩경 merit scholarship remains constant for all four years of study.

Costs for the 2025-2026혻academic year (9 months) are estimated at US$81,620, subject to increase. This includes tuition, mandatory fees, room, board, insurance and personal expenses.

쮸떴팎썩경 Emerging Global Leader Scholarship (쮸떴팎썩경 EGLS)

The 쮸떴팎썩경 Emerging Global Leader Scholarship promotes educational access and opportunity while enhancing international diversity. Bringing together the best of 쮸떴팎썩경�봞cademic excellence, leadership development, and global engagement�봳he 쮸떴팎썩경 Emerging Global Leader achieves, inspires, and serves with vision. The 쮸떴팎썩경 EGLS are dedicated to positive civic and social change, and to improve under-resourced, underserved communities in their home country.

The 2025 쮸떴팎썩경 EGL scholarship covers all billable 쮸떴팎썩경 expenses (full tuition, room, and board) for two international students who will need a non-immigrant visa (preferably an F-1 or J-1 student visa) to study in the United States. The scholarship does not cover non-billable expenses such as mandatory health insurance, books, airline tickets, taxes, and miscellaneous expenses which students will need to pay out of pocket (approximately US$4,000 per year).

The 쮸떴팎썩경 EGL scholarship is renewable for a total of four years of undergraduate study, based on continued satisfactory academic performance. Students interested in all majors offered at 쮸떴팎썩경 are eligible to apply.

New: 쮸떴팎썩경 EGL partial scholarships! We�셱e excited to share that in addition to the two full 2025 쮸떴팎썩경 Emerging Global Leader Scholarships covering all billable expenses, 쮸떴팎썩경 will also offer up to eight additional generous 쮸떴팎썩경 EGL partial scholarships valued at up to US$40,000/per year.

No additional application process is needed to be eligible for 쮸떴팎썩경 EGL partial scholarships. Partial scholarship candidates will be selected from talented applicants who complete the 쮸떴팎썩경 EGL scholarship process successfully. If you are recommended for an 쮸떴팎썩경 EGLs partial scholarship, you will need to submit proof of additional funds beyond the initial US$4,000 for the difference not covered by the 쮸떴팎썩경 EGLS partial scholarship. For example, if you are offered US$40,000/year, you will need to submit financial documents confirming US$42,000 on account for your first year instead of the full estimated costs of US$81,620.

Further information on the fall 2025 application process and deadlines can be found on our쮸떴팎썩경 EGLS website.
