Rhodes College
Rhodes College awards $38,000 a year on this rung of its merit ladder, with no separate application.
Matches the Founders Scholarship in value and sits alongside it on the ladder.
Two things to weigh. The college is candid that its international admission process is need-aware and extremely competitive for students seeking significant aid. And only one general merit award is held at a time, so these do not combine with each other.
$38,000 a year. Renewable for up to four years, with the college stating a student should have the same package for all four given satisfactory academic progress. Only one general merit award is held: these are not stackable with each other, and a student receives the highest they qualify for. International applicants must complete the college's non-citizen financial supplement and submit a bank statement; no CSS Profile is required. Total international cost for 2026 to 2027 is $77,856, and aid excludes transport, textbooks, visa fees and break housing. Outside awards can trigger a reduction if the combination exceeds direct costs.
Entry as a first-year student. The college publishes no threshold for these awards and states they need no separate application. Renewal runs up to four years on satisfactory academic progress.
The college states all applicants are automatically considered for general merit scholarships ranging from $20,000 a year to full tuition, on its financial aid page for international students, and that it meets demonstrated need for admitted international students on student visas.
No separate application. International applicants must additionally complete the college's non-citizen financial supplement, free in the applicant portal, and submit a bank statement supporting their funding.
Consideration is linked to admission. Confirm the applicable admission deadline and any scholarship requirements with the university.
