The University of Richmond, a nationally ranked liberal arts college with a top 20 business school, is pleased to offer scholarship opportunities equal to full tuition.

50 students in every first-year class, of which 10-12 are international candidates, are awarded a merit scholarship through the Richmond Scholars Program (http://admissions. richmond. edu/financial/ scholarships. html).

Recipients have demonstrated extraordinary academic achievement, exceptional personal qualities and potential for ongoing contributions to society. Additionally, the Presidential Scholarship rewards students who have achieved a superior high school record in a rigorous curriculum as well as outstanding standardized test scores.

The scholarship funding provides up to $15,000 per year for four years of undergraduate study at the University of Richmond.

There also are partial scholarships available in areas ranging from art to community service. The Bonner Scholarship in particular rewards students who have been active in community and volunteer service (http://admissions. richmond. edu/financial/ scholarships. html#5)

Richmond scholarships are either full tuition or full tuition, room and board. If a student receives the full tuition award, the remaining I-20 costs are room, board, books, supplies, personal expenses, which total $12,100. If a student receives tuition, room and board, the remaining I-20 costs are $4,900.

Strong academic reputation and extraordinary student life opportunities at Richmond have led outside evaluators like The Fiske Guide to Colleges to recognize Richmond as "equal to many of its Ivy League counterparts" and U.S. News and World Report to rank Richmond #33 among National Liberal Arts Colleges. In addition BusinessWeek magazine recognized our Robins School of Business among the top 20 undergraduate programs in the nation. As an independent, private, liberal arts institution, the University of Richmond offers all you expect from a truly outstanding university: nationally and internationally recognized faculty, an intimate learning environment,
exceptional facilities and technology, and a broad range of extracurricular options, including undergraduate research and internship programs.

For over twenty years, the University of Richmond has demonstrated its commitment to internationalizatio n through expanded international and culture-based course offerings, increased international student and scholar enrollment, and enhanced study, work and research programs abroad for students, faculty and staff. Most recently Richmond was named by Newsweek magazine as the hottest college in the nation for international studies and construction will begin this October on the Carole Weinstein International Center on campus, which will serve as a central location to coordinate Richmond's comprehensive approach to the internationalizatio n of its educational programs and campus life.
