Full Description
Tulane offers a variety of generous need- and merit-based scholarship opportunities for international students.
Need-Based Aid: Tulane offers up to $30,000 in need-based financial aid to international students who qualify and who have not already been awarded that amount or more in merit scholarships. Students must reapply for need-based aid every year. To apply, students must submit a CSS Profile and all necessary supporting documents — it is highly recommended this be done by February 15.
Merit Scholarships: All applicants are considered for partial merit scholarships by completing the Common Application for admission. To be considered for all scholarships (both need and merit may be evaluated in the awarding process), international students should complete three steps (see How to Apply below).
Global Scholarships: In addition to need-based financial aid, Tulane offers merit scholarships that may cover full tuition and fees, or even the full cost of attendance. Global Scholarships are renewable for 4 years (5 years for students in the 5-year Architecture program).
In addition to these special awards, international students may compete for all other available merit scholarships at Tulane.
