About the Scholarship

Kalamazoo College pays $44,000 to $53,000 a year and names international applicants in the award's own sentence, on the award's own page, which is rarer than it should be.

It is fully test-blind for scholarship sizing, the college saying directly that SAT and ACT scores are not a factor in the amount. The award is also portable to study abroad, which matters at a college known for it.

Set it against the college's own affordability floor. It says families generally must be able to pay $25,000 to $35,000 a year, and the average international package covers 55 to 65 per cent of a total cost of $82,452.
