International Student Scholarship

Each year a number of new international students are selected to receive partial scholarships from Asbury College. The purpose of the scholarship is to serve the international community through the education of young leaders, to provide qualified international students the opportunity of an education at Asbury and to maintain an awareness of international concerns through the presence of students from other countries on campus. The selection for the scholarship is based on academic standing, recommendations, and other information available to the committee. To be eligible for this scholarship students must apply by January 1 of the year in which they intend to enroll. This scholarship may be renewed for a total of four years or eight semesters.
