Benedictine College offers scholarships for international students based on academics, test scores and English proficiency once admitted. The pages do not clarify need-based aid, need-blind status or CSS Profile requirements for international students.

Getting in. The school admits 98.1% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 570–690, Math 570–690, ACT 22–29. 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 7+, TOEFL iBT 90+ or Duolingo 110+.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 39,300 USD, before any scholarship. 1 scholarship is confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear.

Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 15/11. You apply through standard application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

Scholarships and aid for international students

Merit for intl studentsi
Yes
Need-based for intli
Unclear
  • Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page only says applicants must be admitted before a scholarship is awarded. It does not say whether merit is considered automatically or needs a separate application, so this is unclear.
  • Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe school requires bank information showing ability to pay, but the page does not say whether this affects the admission decision. Need-blind status for international students therefore cannot be determined.
  • Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention the CSS Profile or any separate aid form for international students. The international admission checklist lists only admission documents, so this is unclear.
