International Students
Welcome
At Covenant College, we are excited to receive applications from students around the world. In 2011, we welcomed students from twenty nations to our campus and the incoming freshman class included representatives from Germany, Indonesia, and South Korea. As you begin the application process, feel free to contact Amy Smith, our international admissions representative, with any questions.
Application
Covenant defines international students as anyone who is not a citizen of the United States of America.
International students should complete the standard application for admission. We encourage international students to complete the SAT or ACT when possible. Students whose first language is not English may submit the TOEFL in place of the SAT or ACT. Please have an official score report sent to us (college number 6124). We require a minimum total score of 540 (paper-based), 207 (computer-based) or 76 (Internet-based).
Financial Aid
Covenant evaluates each international student individually and holistically to determine a financial aid package. Financial aid packages are provided only when a student has been offered admission. Once a financial aid award has been provided, students will submit the declaration of finance to demonstrate the ability to cover the remaining cost of attendance.
Visas
Most international students admitted to Covenant obtain F-1 visas. Only admitted students who have committed to Covenant and demonstrated financial ability should begin the visa process.
