International Students

Funding your studies is a challenge faced by many international students studying in the U.S. The Antioch University Financial Aid Office does not offer any type of federal, state, or other form of aid to international students studying in the U.S. Under federal regulations, federal financial aid is only offered to U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens.

There may be funding options offered by your own government. If you are still in your home country, write or contact your government to ask about funding possibilities. Many organizations, corporations, and institutions provide funding for students to study foreign.

Things to Keep in Mind

• Allow plenty of time for searching, applying, and receiving any type of scholarship or financial funding. Keep pertinent contact information from organizations and records of your applications for your personal reference.
• When applying for scholarships, apply to as many as possible. Many people like you are searching and applying for the same scholarships, so do not worry if you do not receive a reply from every organization.
• Do not give up. There are many scholarships, grants, and funding options out there, so continue to check online websites for new additions.
• If you are awarded a scholarship or any other type of funding, congratulations! Verify how to obtain the funds and note any deadlines. Write a thank you note to the institution, foundation, grant committee, etc., to express your appreciation.

Good luck and happy searching!
