Baker College
- Private
Baker College: international tuition 13,020 USD per year, one-year total cost ≈ 24,526 USD, acceptance rate 81.9%. Need-based aid is not open to international students. Published minimum English scores: TOEFL iBT 64.
Baker College states that grants, loans and employment aid are not available to international students, and its scholarships generally require the FAFSA, so Vietnamese applicants are very unlikely to receive aid.
Getting in. The school admits 85.6% of applicants (447 of 522). Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 460–530, Math 440–550, ACT 16–22. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. For English, the school asks for TOEFL iBT 64+. No IELTS score is listed.
Cost for a year. One year comes to about 24,526 USD, before any scholarship. 5 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
Deadline and visa. The school has not published an application deadline. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

Ways to pay
- Pay in fullYesPay in fullOnce admitted you can enrol straight away — no scholarship decision to wait for.Your family covers all tuition and living costs for every year of the degree.You will need: your application and proof that your family can pay — the school needs it to issue your visa documents.
- Aid with the offerUnclearAid with the offerThe school decides aid while reviewing your application, so any need-based or merit award arrives with the offer.The school's official pages do not say whether international students get aid at admission — worth asking the admissions office directly.
- Apply separately for scholarshipsUnclearApply separately for scholarshipsOn top of the admission application, you send a separate scholarship application or get nominated.The pages we read mention no scholarship with its own application. Not seeing one does not mean there is none — ask the school.

Scholarships and aid for international students
Merit for intl studentsiThe international packet says no aid is available to international students, and the merit scholarships all require the FAFSA, so they are out of reach. The quote does not name merit specifically, so Unclear.
Unclear
Need-based for intliThe international packet explicitly says grants, loans and employment are not available to international students; the quote names international students and need-type aid, so No.
No
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearNo page says merit is automatically considered with the admission application for international students, and current scholarships require the FAFSA. Not enough evidence, so Unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe college requires proof of funds (sponsor, bank statement, full-year payment before the I-20), but never states whether admission decisions consider ability to pay. Unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo CSS Profile or separate international aid form is mentioned; the Affidavit of Support is for I-20 issuance, not an aid application. Not enough evidence, so Unclear.
