We are committed to making Elmhurst University an affordable option for students from around the globe.
That’s why we offer unusually generous merit-based scholarships to international students. Depending on whether you’re applying as a first-year student or a transfer, you may be eligible for merit awards worth as much as $20,000 each year.
Elmhurst awards merit scholarships on the basis of several factors, including academic achievement, artistic talent and membership in the United Church of Christ. The University also awards international student grants to help support the cost of tuition.
No separate scholarship application is required—we make award decisions based on your application for admission to the University.
