International Students
Wheaton encourages applications from international students. Students for whom English is not the native language must submit scores earned on the TOEFL in addition to all other required application materials. Students are expected to earn a minimum score of 550 on the paper version (or 213 on the computer-based version) of TOEFL, and must submit their scores by January 15 of the year they intend to enter Wheaton. To receive Wheaton application forms, students should write directly to the Admission Office for detailed information. Where possible, the Admission Office will arrange an interview with a Wheaton graduate in the applicant’s home country.
Wheaton encourages all U.S. citizens and permanent residents who seek support for their education to apply for financial aid. Non-U.S. citizens without permanent residency status who require financial aid to meet their educational expenses are not encouraged to apply for admission to Wheaton, as the college is unable to provide them with need-based financial support. Non-U.S. citizens are eligible to receive Wheaton’s merit scholarships.
Every financial aid decision is based on a combined evaluation of the student’s demonstrated financial need and overall high school record. No student who can finance only one year at Wheaton should enroll with the expectation that financial aid and/or scholarships will be available in subsequent years.
International students at Wheaton hail from more than 50 countries and territories, including Austria, Belgium, Bhutan, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, England, France, China, Central African Republic, Germany, Guatemala, Haiti, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Hong Kong, Japan, Jordan, Republic of Korea, Kuwait, Lichtenstein, Malaysia, Nepal, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, Vietnam and Wales.
