Florida Southern College

  • Private

Florida Southern College: international tuition 44,040 USD per year, one-year total cost 60,768 USD, acceptance rate 64.4%. Merit scholarships are open to international students. Need-based aid is not.

Florida Southern automatically considers international students for merit and lets them apply for Prestige awards (full tuition/full ride), but offers no need-based aid to international students. Proof of funds is required.

Getting in. The school admits 64.4% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 590–680, Math 560–650, ACT 25–30. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. The school has not published a minimum English score.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 60,768 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.
