2. WELLESLEY COLLEGE (MA) FINANCIAL AID FOR INTERNATIONAL
STUDENTS
Wellesley is committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated need for all
admitted international citizens who have applied for financial aid during the
admission process. Financial assistance is available for a limited number
of international citizens. Its purpose is to support highly qualified
candidates who could not otherwise attend Wellesley. Because of the keen competition for these
funds, candidates should apply for them only if family resources cannot adequately meet College
expenses. In determining the amount of aid given, the College examines the financial resources of
the student and her family through information provided on the financial aid forms. A well-formulated
financial plan is required of all financial aid applicants.
International citizens applying for financial aid must apply under the Regular Decision plan.
Financial assistance is given during the academic year to international students in the form of grants
or scholarships—that is, aid that does not have to be repaid. Students are not expected to borrow
(via a student loan) as part of the aid package. Grants are applied to the cost of tuition, room and
board, fees, and health insurance.

HIRAM COLLEGE (OH) TUITION GUARANTEE AND HIRAM
COLLEGE GLOBAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
For over 160 years, Hiram College, in partnership with families committed
to high quality private education, has been helping students pay for college. Proof of our
commitment is evident through the Tuition Guarantee and Hiram College Global Scholarship
Program.
While tuition at many other colleges and universities usually rises between five and 10% every year,
the Hiram College Tuition Guarantee locks in tuition for each student at his or her first-year rate.
International applicants are eligible to compete for merit-based Global Scholarships. In the current
year, Global Scholarship awards average $18,000 per year for on-campus residents. To insure full
consideration, a completed application for admission should be received no later than February 15
for the fall. There is no separate scholarship application.
The Hiram College Eclectic Scholars Program aims to serve committed, self-motivated,
intellectually curious students with an enriched undergraduate liberal arts education. Toward this
end, it provides opportunities for creative, interdisciplinary scholarship; intimate interactions with
renowned scholars in Hiram’s Centers of Distinction; and professional career development.
Students accepted into the Honors program may also receive an additional scholarship.
