International Admission | Lawrence University

Lawrence enrolls students who have challenged themselves in high school/secondary school, who express themselves well both orally and in writing, and who are imaginative, energetic, and willing to become active members of a learning community. Financial aid is available to international students at Lawrence. However, your application is most competitive for admission if you have at least $18,000 USD available for your education each year.

Deadlines

Options	Deadline
Early Decision*	November 1
Early Action	November 15
Regular Decision**	January 15

**If you are applying for financial aid and/or scholarships, you must apply through Regular Decision (January 15). You must apply for financial aid/scholarships at the time of admission.

*Early Decision is a binding decision. If admitted, you must withdraw any applications for other schools.

Since we have a limited number of vacancies and scholarships for international students, priority consideration is given to those who complete their application by January 15. We will continue to accept applications, however, as long as there are openings in the class. Please remember it is to your advantage to complete your application, including financial aid forms, before January 15.

Financial Forms

The International Student Financial Aid Forms are required of all international applicants. Federal regulations require that you must provide documentation showing the ability to afford the educational expenses you will incur for all four years of university attendance. Therefore, as part of the admissions process, you must demonstrate that you have funds available for your education. If you are applying for financial aid and/or scholarships, you must apply through Regular Decision (January 15). You must apply for financial aid/scholarships at the time of application. For more information on international scholarships and aid, please click here.

In addition to the International Student Financial Aid Forms, you must submit supporting documents verifying this information. Supporting documents could include (but are not limited to):

A bank statement signed by a bank official showing available funds
A letter or other documentation from an employer verifying income
Letter of financial support from sponsor program or loan agency

We do accept attested (copied and notarized) and/or faxed copies of financial documents. However, if you are admitted, we require that you mail us the original document(s) as well as an English translation. We reserve the right to request all originals at any stage in the admissions process.

You may email documents to admissions@lawrence.edu.

Admitted Students

When admission is granted, the admissions office will send a letter of acceptance and related admissions information, including an I-20 (Certification of Eligibility) form (or a DS-2019 for J-1 exchange students and scholars) to the student. The student should: (1) pay the $200 SEVIS fee, (2) make an appointment with the nearest US Consulate, (3) take the admission letter, the I-20 (or DS-2019) for J-1 students), a valid passport, and proof of financial support to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate for an F-1 (student) visa (or J-1 visa for exchange students).
