Vietnamese first-year applicants are automatically considered for merit scholarships of $8,000-$25,000 per year, but Belmont offers no need-based aid to international students.
Getting in. The school admits 95.3% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 590–670, Math 550–640, ACT 24–29. 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 IELTS 6.5+, TOEFL iBT 80+ or Duolingo 115+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 61,330 USD, before any scholarship. 3 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 1/11. You apply through Apply Coalition with Scoir. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe quote sits in the general first-year scholarship section without naming international students, and the international-specific sentence does not mention automatic consideration.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages do not say whether admission decisions ignore international applicants' ability to pay (only proof of funds for visas is required), so this cannot be determined.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe page only says Belmont does not review the CSS Profile and offers no need-based aid to international students; it does not say whether any separate aid form is required.
