Undergraduate international students may apply for this scholarship opportunity, which consists of several levels of support ranging from $10,000 to $22,000 per year as a merit award.

Requirements for Undergraduate International Students Scholarships Qualification

Alvernia University offers scholarships to each admitted international freshman and transfer student wishing to earn an undergraduate degree as a traditional day student at our main Reading campus.

These merit scholarships are renewable for four years (up to eight semesters), all in the same amount.

• Have earned a minimum 3.0 overall cumulative GPA by the May 1 scholarship application deadline.
• Meet English proficiency and financial specifications.
