About the Scholarship

Hope College considers every degree-seeking international applicant for up to $30,000, decided on the secondary school record, a personal statement and a review of activities and leadership.

One condition is easy to miss and hard to undo: living on campus is a requirement of holding the scholarship, not merely encouraged.

The college's named merit ladder, from its $22,000 Trustee award down, carries no statement that international students can receive it, and its international scholarship ceiling matches none of those awards. The two tracks appear to be separate, so this is the award to plan around. Expect to document $30,000 to $35,000 a year in family support regardless.

What It Covers

Tuition

Up to $30,000, renewable for four years while the student remains in good academic standing. Annual expenses are $64,420 with tuition and fees at $46,980, and the college says families generally need to be able to pay $30,000 to $35,000 a year.

Eligibility

Degree-seeking undergraduate entry. Selection weighs the quality of secondary school classes, the marks in them, a personal statement and a review of activities and leadership. Living on campus is a requirement of holding the scholarship. Applicants must verify full financial support for their studies.

Eligible Countries

The college states international students applying as degree-seeking students are automatically considered for a merit-based scholarship of up to $30,000.
