Grants & Scholarships – International
For International Students
International merit scholarships are awarded to full-time international students during their first year at Tiffin University. The amount awarded to a first year, transfer or graduate student is the amount they can continue to receive during their enrollment at Tiffin University. We do not move scholarship amounts up after the first year. This scholarship can not go toward bookstore charges. To maintain the full amount of the scholarship students must be enrolled in full-time status. If a student is enrolled in less than full-time status their international scholarship will be prorated to account for the number of credits they are enrolled in. Students are only eligible to receive ONE institutional scholarship/discount. All financial aid documents required for financial aid and all admissions documents required for admissions is required. Financial Aid will NOT disburse onto accounts until all final official documents are received.
