Financial Aid and Scholarships

All full-time, degree-seeking international students at Juniata will receive a $2,000 per year International Friendship Award. Most international students are eligible for partial merit-based scholarships (scholarships for students with a record of high academic achievement) and need-based grants (grants based on the financial need of student). Currently, these scholarships range in amount from $2,000 to $10,000.

To apply for financial assistance, please complete the application process and provide appropriate documentation to show what financial support you have available during your period of stay in the United States. This financial documentation can be in the form of a certified bank statement or an official letter from a bank. Letters of employment and other evidence of sources of income and assets may be helpful, but are not necessary. If sponsored by someone else (such as a parent, family member, government agency, or other individual or organization), a bank statement and an original letter from the sponsor (in English or with a certified translation) are necessary. The letter should state the sponsor's willingness to support the student for the period of study and give the specific amount, in U.S. Dollars. See a sample Affidavit of Support.

Financial assistance for students who are not U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents is limited and is dependent upon funds available. International students are expected to provide a substantial proportion of their expenses at Juniata.
