The University of Chicago offers a range of scholarships specifically for international students to enhance accessibility to education. Over the past four years, University of Chicago has provided nearly $20 million in need-based financial aid through its University of Chicago International Scholarships program. A recent $35 million donation has further solidified this commitment, allowing UChicago to offer a loan-free financial aid package to cover 100% of demonstrated financial need for admitted students who apply for funding.

This robust financial support ensures that international students can focus on their academic achievement and community involvement without the burden of financial constraints. To be considered, applicants must demonstrate strong academic achievement, submit high school transcripts, and show significant extracurricular involvementand leadership qualities. Essential documentation includes recommendation letters, proof of income, and the International Financial Aid Worksheet.
