Muhlenberg College offers several different types of funding for international students, all of which are grant funds from the College that do not require repayment. All funding is intended to supplement the difference between the cost of a Muhlenberg education and the amount that a family is able to pay.
Need-Based Financial Aid - Timing is crucial in the financial aid process, so please follow these instructions carefully and submit required forms by the published admissions deadlines:
- Indicate on your Common Application that you wish to be considered for need-based aid. It is too late to apply for aid after you have been admitted.
- Submit the Certification of Finances, which is available in the Application Status Portal.
If a student is offered financial aid, it will be for their first academic year, which will be renewable for each of the following three years without submitting additional materials. Your financial aid offer will be calculated based upon the documentation and information you provided with your admissions application.
Merit Scholarship - Muhlenberg College is committed to enrolling a diverse and highly qualified student body. In that spirit, we offer a limited number of merit scholarships to the most accomplished international students. Please understand that this is a highly competitive process, so we must receive your completed admissions application by the published deadline in order to consider you for a merit scholarship. No additional documents are required to apply for merit funding.
Talent Scholarship - $1,000 to $2,000 scholarships are offered on the basis of audition or portfolio to students in performing arts or visual arts who intend to continue performing during college (not necessary to major in Music, Theatre, Dance, Film Studies or Art; simply must contribute to performing groups at the College while at Muhlenberg).
