Scholarship Information for International Students
All international students are eligible for scholarships ranging from $22,000 to $32,000 per year, depending on their GPA and available scholarship resources. The remaining costs for tuition, room, and board usually range from $10,000 to $14,000 per semester.
International students are required to live on campus unless they have a family member living locally. Students who choose not to live on campus will have their scholarship amount reduced.
To obtain your visa as an international student, you will need to provide an I-20 form. Additionally, the U.S. government requires that you demonstrate the financial ability to cover extra expenses such as travel, books, and personal costs. These expenses are not paid directly to the university but are necessary for your education. The current estimated amount for these indirect costs is $4,500.
You may be eligible for an academic scholarship if you’re an international student and have received an acceptance letter from the University of Lynchburg. No need to apply for a separate scholarship; scholarships are automatically awarded based on your calculated grade point average. The scholarship letter will specify the academic standards you must maintain to renew your scholarship. If you meet the standards in your first year, you can continue to receive the scholarship until you finish your studies at the University.
Please note that international students are only eligible for one scholarship from the University.
Additionally, the University of Lynchburg does not provide loans to students. International students must demonstrate their financial ability to pay the cost of attendance balance (tuition and housing, including room and meals minus scholarship) before being fully admitted. International scholarships are available only to non-U.S. citizens, ranging from $22,000 to $31,000.
Housing (Room Plus Meals) Requirements
The admissions process requires that students must be at least 17 years old. Any international student who applies must reside on campus and participate in the full meal plan unless they choose to live locally with a family member. If any student decides not to live on campus and take advantage of the meal plan, their scholarship amount will be reduced.
