International first-year applicants, including Vietnamese students, can seek merit scholarships at Washington College; the page explicitly refers to international merit recipients. Need-based aid remains unclear because WC Need-Based Grants require the FAFSA and no international guidance is provided.
Getting in. The school admits 93.8% of applicants (3,294 of 3,512). Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 560–690, Math 530–640, ACT 22–30. 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+ or Duolingo 115+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 73,314 USD, before any scholarship. 3 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet. According to the Common Data Set 2025-2026, 15 international students got financial aid, 49,472 USD each on average.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 15/11. You apply through Common App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
