About the Scholarship

St. Lawrence University is a liberal arts college in Canton, in northern New York State, with more than 220 international students from 59 countries. Its merit awards for international applicants are called International Scholarships, and they range from $5,000 to full tuition.

That range is wide, so treat the top of it as genuinely competitive. The award is decided from your whole file: your courses and grades, recommendations, test scores if you send them, your activities, your essay and an interview where one happens.

Applying costs you two pieces of paperwork. Tick the financial aid box on the Common Application, and send the Certificate of Finance at the same time as everything else. The CSS Profile and ISFAA are not needed, and your first Certificate of Finance needs no bank signatures.

The deadline for processing a first-year Certificate of Finance is 1 February, and later applications are considered as funding allows. Note that St. Lawrence awards one merit or specialty scholarship per student, the highest in value, and gives no travel assistance.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

A tuition scholarship of $5,000 to full tuition a year, held for four years while you meet the merit scholarship grade point average requirement. Housing, meals, health insurance, books and travel stay with the student, and St. Lawrence does not grant travel assistance.

Eligibility

St. Lawrence awards merit to students based on their academic achievements, and states that for international students these merit awards are called International Scholarships. The University offers merit and need-based financial aid to international students and describes these opportunities as very competitive. Its Canadian admissions page adds that international students, including those from Canada, are eligible for the same merit scholarships as U.S. students. The award is reviewed from your whole application: courses taken, grades, letters of recommendation, test scores if submitted, activities, the essay and an interview where applicable. St. Lawrence does not stack awards, so one merit or specialty scholarship is awarded, the highest in value.
