Kutztown University of Pennsylvania: international tuition 25,528 USD per year, one-year total cost 33,055 USD, acceptance rate 90.8%. Merit scholarships and need-based aid are open to international students. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6, TOEFL iBT 70, Duolingo 105.

Kutztown offers dedicated merit and need-based awards for first-year international students (2026-27 admits), plus an automatic ~$7,500 yearly tuition discount. Whether it is need-blind or requires the CSS Profile is not stated.

Getting in. The school admits 90.8% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 570–670, Math 550–640. 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+, TOEFL iBT 70+ or Duolingo 105+. The school does not admit conditionally when the English score is missing.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 33,055 USD, before any scholarship. 3 scholarships are 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 for fall is 1/7. You apply through Common 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
Yes
  • Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe general page says merit is reviewed automatically but never mentions international students. The international page doesn't say whether merit needs a separate application, so this stays unclear.
  • Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNone of the pages say whether admission decisions for international students ignore ability to pay, so there is no basis to call the school need-blind.
  • Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe page only says students can apply online for Avalanche awards after applying for admission. It names no CSS Profile or specific international aid form, so the requirement is unclear.
