Financial Aid for International Students

We review each application and awards merit to students based on their academic achievements. For international students, these merit awards are called International Scholarships. The scholarships range from $5,000 to full tuition.

This new scholarship program is designed to identify and recognize talented incoming first-year Canadian students who wish to study in the United States. The scholarship value for the Canadian Scholars Program ranges from $25,000 to $50,000 USD per year, with four-year total values of $100,000 to $200,000 USD.

The Canadian Scholars Program seeks students who have excelled academically and demonstrated leadership in some compelling way in their communities. This leadership may be school-related, service-related, or any other avenue in which the student has invested substantive time. This scholarship program is competitive, and finalists will be invited to campus for a personalized visit and interview. 

Eligibility: Priority is given to incoming first-year students who attend Canadian high schools, although Canadian students attending American high schools may be considered on a space-available basis.

How to Apply: Interested students must complete the Common Application, in addition to the Canadian Scholarship Application Essay.

We are honored that over the last several decades, many Kenyans have chosen to receive their post-secondary education at St. Lawrence.
