Each year a select number of first-year and transfer international students receive merit scholarships and need-based grants to attend Clark \u2014 reflecting the university\u2019s recognition of the importance of diversity and strong global commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All international students must complete the International Student Certification of Finances and Financial Assistance Application Form<\/strong> located on your Applicant Status Portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Can international students work to pay for their educational expenses?<\/summary>\n

Although there are a limited number of part-time, on-campus jobs for international students, the income from these jobs is only sufficient to provide \u201cpocket money\u201d; you will not earn enough income to pay for a significant portion of your educational expenses. The U.S. government prohibits international students from working outside the University.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Learn more about payment plans<\/a> available to international students and their families.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Does Clark offer a “discount” if I can pay for all four years at once?<\/summary>\n

Clark offers families the option of fixing the tuition rate for four years at the first-year level. To do this, families pay four years of tuition the first year, thereby \u201clocking\u201d into the tuition rate of the student\u2019s first year.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
