International Scholarships

International Scholarships

• In addition to merit scholarships WPI offers a limited number of need-based scholarships to international students. Because WPI has limited funds available specifically for talented international students, only a portion of the admitted international students are awarded each year. The awards vary in amount, but typically range from $5,000 to $25,000. These awards are renewed each year, provided the student remains in good academic standing. WPI does not guarantee to meet applicants' full financial need.
• The scholarships are based upon financial need, the student's academic profile, and any special talents or experiences that the student will bring to WPI. Because no award amounts are greater than the cost of tuition, families are expected to contribute a minimum of $17,200 for living expenses, plus travel expenses, to the total cost of attendance at WPI.
• Because funding is limited, families who have the financial resources to fund the entire cost of attendance should not apply for financial aid. WPI maintains a need-aware admissions process for international (non-immigrant) applicants.
• It is possible to receive an award that is a combination of a Merit Scholarship and a International Scholarship; however, WPI offers very few combined awards. It is important to note that combined awards never exceed the cost of tuition.
• In order to apply for an International Scholarship, students must complete the International Student Financial Aid Application. The deadline for this application coincides with the deadline for the admissions application. WPI will not be accepting the new CSS PROFILE form for international students and financial aid applicants should plan to submit the International Student Financial Aid Application in order to be considered for aid.
