About the Scholarship

Eckerd College automatically considers international first-year applicants for a grant of up to $27,000, with no separate application.

What makes Eckerd unusual is how explicit it is. One sentence on its aid page carries eligibility for this grant and for three of its talent-based awards, naming them, which is rarer than it should be.

Two limits. It is for first-year applicants who have not taken college coursework, and international students are not eligible for the college's need-based aid. Renewal terms are not published for this grant specifically.

What It Covers

Tuition

Up to $27,000. The college's general statement that merit scholarships are renewable for up to four years is asterisked and attached to a different award, so treat renewal as unconfirmed for this one.

Eligibility

Entry as a first-year applicant who has not taken college or university coursework. International students are not eligible for the college's need-based aid.

Eligible Countries

The college states it automatically considers international first-year applicants for an International Student Grant, and that while international students are not eligible for need-based aid they may apply to its talent-based scholarships, naming the Artistic Achievement Awards, First-Year Research Associateships and the Community Engagement and Leadership Scholarship. The college defines an international student as one requiring a visa to study in the United States, and treats dual citizens holding American citizenship as domestic.
