Financial Assistance for International Students
Financial aid is available to Wartburg international students in the form of grants, scholarships, and student employment. You should have your sponsor write a letter of support to the Wartburg College Admissions Office. Student employment is available on campus to help pay personal expenses, but earnings will not be sufficient to pay a significant amount of tuition costs.

The Wartburg College International Scholarship Program recognizes the academic achievement of international students, their contribution to campus and community life, and their financial need. Students may qualify for a Ruppe Scholarship awarded at the time of admission and/or a High Performance Scholarship awarded after the completion of nine course credits.

Awards are based upon scholastic achievement, participation in co-curricular activities as music, sports, or drama, community service, and financial need. This scholarship program honors the late Loret Miller Ruppe, former director of the Peace Corps and U.S. Ambassador to Norway, whose conviction was that “peace work needs to be everybody’s work.”

High Performance Scholarships (PDF) up to $2,000
After completing nine course credits at Wartburg, international students who participate in two or more campus activities and achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above may apply. Requests are due within three weeks after the end of the academic term. The Director of Financial Aid will evaluate each application and provide a written decision to the applicant within eight weeks after the end of the term.
