Wheaton offers limited need-based financial aid to international students based on a combination of financial need and academic performance. Applicants who wish to be considered for financial aid must complete the 2025–2026 International Student Financial Aid Application after you apply for admission to Wheaton.  This form will be located in your admission portal and is specific to you.

Please note: the financial aid deadline for international students who wish to apply through Wheaton’s Early Action admission program is November 15.  The financial aid deadline for international students who wish to apply through Wheaton’s Regular Decision admission program is January 15.

Wheaton offers an academic scholarship program to recognize outstanding secondary school achievement. Citizens of any country are eligible for these funds which range in value from U.S. $40,000 to U.S. $160,000 over the course of a student’s four years at Wheaton (annual value $10,000 to $40,000). The Admission Committee selects scholarship recipients from the general applicant pool; no additional application is necessary.
