International first-year applicants who submit all required documentation by Nov. 15 may be eligible to attend Oglethorpe’s annual Scholarship Weekend, during which Oglethorpe awards up to ten full-tuition scholarships. All admitted students are automatically evaluated for merit-based scholarships starting at $19,000/year. International Baccalaureate students who complete the IB Diploma Programme and earn an IB diploma will also receive a $1,500/yr. renewable scholarship.
International Financial Aid
International students are eligible for consideration for need-based financial assistance from Oglethorpe University. Upon acceptance, Oglethorpe will provide you with the International Student Financial Aid Form, which you can complete to request additional need-based aid. Please note that the US federal government’s need-based student aid programs are not available to non-US citizens.
F-1 Student Visa sponsorship
Oglethorpe offers F-1 Student Visa sponsorship and will issue an I-20 to students as soon as they have paid an enrollment deposit and demonstrated funding for at least one year of tuition. If you are a permanent resident, or a student who identifies as DACA or undocumented, you are considered a domestic student for admission purposes and do not need to submit any additional documentation.
