Northwestern offers generous scholarships and grants to partner with international students and their families in meeting the cost of their education. Each year, Northwestern discounts more than 50% of international students' billed expenses with merit- and need-based aid. Note that maximum scholarship awards do not include housing and food, fees, health insurance, books or travel expenses.

International students typically pay between $15,000 and $23,000 per year. What you end up paying will be the difference between Northwestern's costs and the scholarships and grants you receive.

Your costs for a year at Northwestern will include the following:

• Tuition: Tuition is only for classroom instruction. Your total financial aid from Northwestern cannot exceed the cost of tuition. View current tuition costs.
• Housing + food costs: All unmarried students younger than 23 years old are expected to live on campus. We consider this an important part of our students' learning experience. View current housing + food costs.
• Fees: College fees are additional costs for particular services. Some—such as the technology fee—are charged to all students. Others—such as orientation, lab, studio art course or music lesson fees—are charged only to students who are using that service. View current fees.
• Other expenses: Costs such as books, insurance, transportation and personal expenses are not included in your Northwestern account. However, those estimated annual expenses must be reported on your Form I-20. International students are required to provide financial statements documenting that they have sufficient funds available to pay their full first-year costs before the Form I-20 can be issued by Northwestern College. View estimated cost of attendance, including personal expenses.

International students are not eligible for financial aid or loans from the U.S. government, but Northwestern has a variety of other options for financial assistance:

1. Complete the International Student Application if you have not done so already.
2. Once we notify you of admission, then we can proceed with financial aid. If you wish to receive a need-based international grant, please complete the CSS profile.
3. You will be required to document your ability to pay remaining college expenses with personal/family funds or sponsors' support before receiving an I-20 from Northwestern College.
