The Academic and Cultural Sharing Scholarship (ACSS) at St. Cloud State University offers the resident tuition rate to international students who meet
and maintain the requirements for eligibility. The goal of the ACSS is to promote interaction and cross-cultural understanding between international
students and members of SCSU and St. Cloud communities. This is a savings of almost $7000 per year.

Each of its more than 200 undergraduate and 60 graduate academic programs are accredited, meeting the highest standards of the education community. It
is small enough to have professors who know you by name and help you transition into life and learning at St. Cloud State University. It is big enough to

Oberlin is privileged to be one of the few American colleges and universities able to offer substantial financial
assistance to international students. As an institution committed to ethnic, experiential, and economic diversity, Oberlin
provides grants, scholarships, loans, and on-campus employment to enable international students to meet all
demonstrated financial need.

More than 80 percent of our international students receive institutional financial aid, with the average aid package covering about three-quarters of the
cost of attendance. However, the international financial aid budget is not unlimited. Consequently, the international admission process is extremely
competitive—particularly for students with high financial need. Fewer than 15 percent of international applicants are admitted in a typical year.

All international applicants wishing to be considered for financial aid must so indicate on their application. Please keep in mind that admission and
financial aid decisions cannot be reached until all necessary documentation has been received by the Office of Admissions.
