The <strong>International Student Certification of Finances and Financial Assistance Application Form<\/strong> can only be completed once a student has applied to Clark and it is made available on their applicant status portal. For students who are not requesting need-based financial assistance, this form will serve as the certification of financial resources. For those students who are requesting financial assistance, it will serve as the application for Clark-funded financial assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All undergraduate admitted students, regardless of citizenship, are automatically considered for merit scholarships, and no separate application is required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clark offers the highly competitive&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/offices\/financial-aid\/scholarships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Presidential Scholarship<\/a>, covering tuition, room, and board. Awarded to 3-5 students annually, recipients are responsible for additional costs totaling approximately $12,000-$15,000 per year. There is no separate application process for the Presidential Scholarship. All admitted students will be considered by the scholarship committee based on the strength of the admissions application. Finalists will be selected and invited to interview for this prestigious scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Clark provides merit and need-based aid for international students, it may not cover all educational expenses. Typically, international students pay around $40,000 per year after considering scholarships and aid. Our total cost of attendance is approximately $85,000 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note, our admissions process is need-aware, meaning the student and family\u2019s ability to pay may impact the admissions decision. An application may be denied if a student\u2019s indicated financial need exceeds what we can offer through scholarships and aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details on merit scholarships, financial aid, and costs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/undergraduate-admissions\/cost-and-financial-aid\/\">see Cost and Financial Aid<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>International credits award<\/summary>\n<p>Clark University offers advanced standing credit for certain academic programs completed prior to enrollment.
