Merit awards for international students
No separate application form or process is required for Millikin merit scholarships. Millikin’s merit awards for international students are based on a combination of academic merit, the potential to contribute to a global campus community, leadership, volunteerism, community service, and financial need.
Awards will range from partial to full tuition scholarship. These funds are renewable each year, based on successful continued academic performance.
