Cost of Study for Students with Undergraduate International Excellence Award Rate
Undergraduate Students with an incoming GPA of 3.5 - 4.0 receive a special scholarship rate which allows them at least a $12,500 savings on tuition per year. The rate is locked in for four years for a potential $50,000 savings. Students do not need to maintain 3.5 or higher GPA to retain special rate. No scholarship application is needed.
All international students must prove a minimum amount of money to study at EIU for one academic year. The approximate costs for the 2012-2013 academic year of study (August to May) are as follows:
