International Student Financial Aid

Tulane offers variety of generous need- and merit-based scholarship opportunities for international students.

Tulane offers up to $23,000 in need-based financial aid to international students who qualify and who have not already been awarded that amount or more in merit scholarships. Students must reapply for need based aid every year. To apply, you must submit a CSS Profile and all necessary supporting documents. It is highly recommended you do so by February 15.
