About the Scholarship

Wheaton College in Massachusetts awards $10,000 to $40,000 a year and states plainly that citizens of any country are eligible, which is about as direct as this gets.

It renews automatically up to four years on good academic and social standing rather than a numeric grade threshold, and needs no application at all: the amount arrives with the acceptance letter.

One inconsistency to know about. A separate college page gives a narrower band of $32,000 to $42,000 a year, but it leans on a statistic from 2022. The figures here come from the page written for international students. Note also that the college's separate Judy Purdy Grant is its need-based award for international students, but it publishes no amount for it.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

$10,000 to $40,000 a year, $40,000 to $160,000 across four years, on the figures the college publishes for international students. Another college page gives a narrower band of $32,000 to $42,000 a year but carries a headline statistic from 2022, so the international page is used here; treat the discrepancy as unresolved on the college's side. Half the annual award is applied each semester, prorated below full-time, and forfeited for a semester of a single class.

Eligibility

Entry as a first-year student, awarded on secondary school academic achievement regardless of financial need. Renewed automatically each year up to the fourth while the student remains in good academic and social standing under the college's honour code, for a maximum of eight semesters.

Eligible Countries

The college states international students are eligible for the merit-based Wheaton Presidential Scholarship, and on its page for international students that citizens of any country are eligible for these funds.
