Crown College has very limited funds to financially assist international students. It is recommended by the College that international students seek sponsorship and scholarship funding from outside sources. However, international students in attendance at Crown College are not permitted to make appeals to American churches or members of the College community for financial support (see Catalog p. 27). All financial obligations must be paid in U.S. dollars.
International Student Grant
Crown College offers international students an International Student Grant (ISG). The purpose of the ISG program is to assist students who are ineligible for federal, state, and private grants in the United States. The criteria includes the following:
1) All international students will receive a grant for the lesser of 30% off tuition or $4,000. The 30% calculation applies only to tuition; it does not apply to room and board, fees, books, living expenses, or any other costs.
2) Recipients of the International Student Grant must be enrolled as full-time day students (12 credits per semester minimum.)
3) U.S. citizens whose families reside abroad are not eligible for the International Student Grant. These students are eligible to apply for federal, state - as appropriate, and institutional grants, scholarships, and loans.
4) Students having dual citizenship (i.e. Canadian and American) are considered U.S. citizens. These students are not eligible for the International Student Grant. They are eligible to apply for federal aid as well as other institutional grants and scholarships.
Financial Aid
In addition to the International Student Grant, students may apply for and receive any of the following institutional scholarships, grants or loans for which they are eligible.
1) The Crown Scholarship is based on academic achievements as indicated by TOEFL test scores and the transcript evaluation. The application is included in the admission packet.
2) Music Scholarship applications can be obtained from the Crown College Music office. Auditions may be performed in person or by video or audio tape. Auditions are held from January to March of the year students plan to enroll.
3) Church Matching Scholarship information can be obtained from the Financial Aid office.
4) Transcript Evaluation Fee Credit up to $125 will be awarded to any international student who enrolls at the College after submitting a transcript evaluated by World Education Services, Inc. (WES).
5) The Financial Aid office has an alternative loan that international students may apply for, but the student must have a U.S. citizen with a permanent U.S. address to co-sign. College personnel may not co-sign for this loan.
