Financial Aid for Internationals
Applying for Financial Aid
International students must complete the
financial affidavit as part of the pre-application process.
The financial affidavit indicates where your financial support will
come from to fund your studies at Houghton. Your support may come
from your own personal funds or those of a family member or sponsor.
Since Houghton has limited funds to offer international students we
expect you to cover all yearly expenses.

Grants and Scholarships
The following is a partial list of financial aid programs available to TCKs and International students.
Academic scholarship - These awards range from $8,000 to $16,000 per year and are based on a student's academic record.
Excellence scholarships - These awards range from $5,000 to full-tuition and are based on a student's application in the areas of Global Engagement, the Arts and Science and Technology.
Houghton College Grants - These grants provide financial assistance to students with demonstrated financial need or who exhibit other positive personal qualities.
Performance Grants - Performance grants are awarded to students for displaying exceptional talent in fine arts.
On-campus Work Opportunities - There are many
jobs available on campus, within specific departments. A social
security card is required to obtain work on campus and Houghton will
help international students obtain their card. A student typically
works between 10-12 hours per week.
