International Students Scholarships

Illinois Wesleyan University Bachelor’s Degree Deadline: 15 Nov 2026/15 Mar 2027 (annual) Study in: USA Course starts Fall 2027 Brief description: Illinois Wesleyan University (IWU) offers merit scholarships and two full-tuition President’s Scholarships to international students starting a Bachelor’s degree. All admitted applicants are considered automatically for merit scholarships, and international students can also apply for need-based aid. Host Institution(s): Illinois Wesleyan University, Bloomington, Illinois, USA Level/Field of study: Bachelor’s degrees in any of IWU’s undergraduate majors Number of Awards: Two President’s Scholarships each year; the number of merit scholarships is not specified. Target group: International students (who are not US citizens or permanent residents) entering their first year Scholarship value/inclusions: • Merit scholarships: up to US$38,000 a year, renewable for up to four years. • President’s Scholarships: full tuition, which is US$61,004 in 2026-27. • Need-based aid: IWU-funded scholarships, loans and campus jobs for students who submit the CSS Profile. IWU has no full-ride scholarships, so even President’s Scholars still pay for housing, meals, health insurance, visa costs and travel. Eligibility: Merit scholarships go to international applicants with outstanding academic results. President’s Scholarships go to highly qualified first-year international students, chosen for their talents, interests and academic achievements. IWU’s admission is need-sensitive for international students: once you show that your family can contribute at least US$30,000 a year, your application is reviewed like any other. Students must be 17 by 1 August of the year they start, because first-year students live on campus. Application instructions: There is no separate scholarship application: apply for admission through the Common Application or the IWU application (there is no application fee) and you are considered automatically. International applicants can apply by 15 November 2026 for non-binding Early Action; the preferred international deadline for Fall 2027 is 15 March 2027. Your school or testing agency must send official transcripts, test scores and English results directly to IWU. Submit the CSS Profile if you want to be considered for need-based aid.
