Scholarship Summary
Scholarship Details:
Upon submission of your admissions application, you will automatically be considered for several merit scholarships. The Presidential Scholarship, however, requires a separate application, while the remaining merit scholarships do not.
Scholarship eligibility is determined by your academic achievements as indicated in your admission application, rather than your family’s financial need. International students seeking scholarships are expected to demonstrate the ability to cover a significant portion of their educational expenses, including those applying for the Presidential Scholarship. On average, international students at Clark typically pay between $25,000 and $45,000 annually.
Notification of a merit scholarship award will be included in your admissions decision communication.
