University of New England: international tuition 45,960 USD per year, one-year total cost 71,640 USD, acceptance rate 91.6%. Merit scholarships are open to international students. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6, TOEFL iBT 79, Duolingo 110.
UNE automatically considers international first-year undergraduates for merit scholarships of up to $20,000 per year, with no separate application. Need-based aid runs through the FAFSA (SSN/ARN required), so access for Vietnamese students is unclear, and the Tuition-Free Program excludes international students.
Getting in. The school admits 91.6% of applicants. The SAT range of admitted students is not published. 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 79+ or Duolingo 110+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 71,640 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 for fall is 15/11. 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
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe page says international students need no separate application for merit scholarships because they are considered automatically when they submit their admission application.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe provided pages say nothing about whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages only mention the FAFSA (for those with an SSN/ARN) and do not mention the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form, so this is unclear.
