Whitworth automatically considers international first-year students for merit scholarships of $2,000 to $10,000 per year, renewable for up to four years. CSS Profile is not required; need-based aid and need-blind status are unclear.

Getting in. The school admits 89.8% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 550–670, Math 540–660, ACT 21–29. 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 6.5+, TOEFL iBT 79+ or Duolingo 110+.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 50,162 USD, before any scholarship. 2 scholarships are confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear. Health insurance is 1,435 USD a year.

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