About the Scholarship

The Presidential Scholarship is Clark University's largest merit award. It covers full tuition along with on-campus housing and meals for all four years, and it goes to approximately five students a year, picked for academic achievement and leadership potential from the top of the admitted pool.

Nothing extra is required of you. The scholarship committee reads every admitted student's admission application, finalists are invited to interview, and the decision lands with the admission decision. Family finances play no part in who wins it.

For international applicants the relevant background is that Clark awards merit scholarships to a select number of international first-year and transfer students each year, and all applicants are automatically considered for merit aid. Need-based help is a separate track through the CSS Profile, and Clark is need-aware, meaning an application can be declined on financial grounds if the need shown exceeds what Clark can fund.

Clark publishes no separate scholarship deadline, so the admission deadline you choose is the one that matters.

What It Covers

  • Tuition
  • Housing
  • Other

Full tuition, on-campus housing and meals for all four years, awarded regardless of a family's financial situation. Travel, health insurance and personal costs sit outside the award.

Eligibility

Roughly five awards a year to applicants with outstanding academic achievement and leadership potential who sit among the top applicants to Clark. No grade or test minimum is published. Clark states that each year a select number of first-year and transfer international students receive merit scholarships, and all applicants are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships. The award is not adjusted for family finances.

How to Apply

Automatic. Every admitted student is reviewed by the scholarship committee on the strength of the admission application, and finalists are invited to interview. Merit decisions are made from the admission file alone, and recipients are notified at the time of admission. International applicants who also want need-based aid must file the CSS Profile when they apply, which Clark reads on a need-aware basis.
