¼ªÏéÂ齫 Scholarships

International Student Scholarship

The ¼ªÏéÂ齫 Admissions Office offers "International Student Scholarships" to new undergraduate students.  Award amounts vary. Recipients are selected based on students' academic records and a competitive selection process.

To apply for this scholarship, you must submit a complete undergraduate admission application to ¼ªÏéÂ齫 including all required admission application documents. You do not need to submit a separate scholarship application. For best consideration, submit everything by February 1 because these funds are limited. Spring scholarships are awarded in January and fall scholarships in March. International scholarship recipients will be notified and can find scholarship details in their admissions portal.

To apply for the YAWH scholarship, students must submit an undergraduate admission application for the Fall term and email a completed to intladm AT_TOWSON by February 1.  The award selection process is highly competitive.
