Undergraduate Scholarships 

Average Scholarship Range: $10,000 - $19,000 per year   |  Top Scholarship: Full-tuition scholarship

 

Maryville College has a strong scholarship program for international students and most of our international students receive a scholarship.

Scholarships are based on:

  • academic performance and potential, as determined by school records and/or test scores,
  • the admission essay and
  • non-academic activities and achievements.  

To apply for a scholarship, an applicant must submit a complete application including an essay describing their academic goals, their reasons for choosing Maryville College, and their reasons for feeling they deserve or need scholarship funding.  Find out more about application requirements.

As mentioned above, our scholarships typically range from $10,000 to $19,000 per academic year. You will automatically be considered for the highest possible amount. All scholarship funds are credited toward tuition payments.  Your scholarship is automatically renewed for up to four academic years (8 fall/spring semesters), provided that you maintain a satisfactory GPA, act as a cultural ambassador on campus, and reside on campus. 

There is no financial aid to cover living costs, fees, books, and miscellaneous expenses.  For visa purposes, most students need to show at least approximately $23,000 in available financial support for the first year of their studies. This amount is based on the highest available scholarship and may be more based on the actual scholarship received.
