About the Scholarship

Elmhurst University's largest international award pays up to $20,000 and attaches no grade threshold: the university describes it as going to any first-year student who will study there.

Elmhurst runs a separate scholarship scale for international students, with different names and different money from its domestic awards. This is the top of that scale, and its domestic Presidential award at $26,000 is not open to international applicants.

One gap to note: the university publishes no renewal terms for this award, so treat it as a first-year figure until it confirms otherwise.
