College of Charleston’s Merit Scholarships are offered to first-time entering freshmen (domestic and international) based on a holistic scholarship review process. Please note that multiple factors will be considered when assessing scholarship awards.
The Providence College Roddy Scholarship, is a full-ride scholarship for applicants who want a career in the medical profession with plans of attending medical, dental, or optometry graduate school. Consideration is based on outstanding academic achievement in high school. The Roddy Scholarship is only awarded to first-year students who reside in the United States and only one award is available.
International students will be considered for admission and institutional need-based financial assistance at Providence College based upon a review of the academic qualifications, financial need, and availability of student aid resources. In some cases, especially for students with high financial need, Providence might be unable to make an offer of admission if the funding is insufficient.
Providence College’s scholarships are awarded to approximately 30% of admitted students (domestic and international) and are done so solely based off academic performance. The scholarship review is solely focused on a student’s academic credentials and those typically receiving a merit-based scholarship have exhausted the curriculum available at their school and maintained close to an A average (3.8 out of 4.0 unweighted and recalculated GPA).
Many financial assistance opportunities exist for international students and include merit-based scholarships, need-based grants, and private education loans. Merit-based scholarships are awarded by the Office of Undergraduate Admission whereas the Office of Financial Assistance handles the awarding of need-based funding.
Admission for first-year international students is need-aware, which means your family's ability to pay for your education may be a factor in your admission decision. It is important to note that although a student applying for aid may be academically admissible, not all students will be awarded financial aid due to the limited availability of funding.
