Undergraduate Scholarships for International Students

Stevens Institute of Technology offers a range of merit-based scholarships to recognize outstanding academic achievements and potential. International undergraduate students are automatically considered for these scholarships upon admission, with no separate application required for most awards.

You are automatically considered for Stevens merit scholarships when you are admitted; no additional application is needed, with a few exceptions listed below. Merit scholarships range between $2,000 and full tuition (scholarships may not exceed the cost of tuition). If you receive a Stevens merit scholarship, it may be renewed every year, for a total of eight full-time undergraduate semesters, as long as you meet all of the renewal requirements.
