Helping international students reach their full potential
At Point Park, we understand the financial sacrifices that come along with a quality education. That's why we strive to make our University as accessible to international students as possible, providing substantial merit scholarships.
The scholarships and awards are disbursed equally over the course of the student's years of study. In order to receive the scholarship funds, awardees must continue to meet the original criteria stated in the award, adhere to the guidelines set forth by the student's visa stipulations, and make good progress toward completion of the degree.
Some of our undergraduate academic merit scholarships may cover more than 50 percent of the cost of tuition. Below are the scholarships available to international students along with their respective requirements.
