## About this scholarship

Alvernia University provides the Presidential Scholarship to incoming international students who enroll as traditional day undergraduates at the main campus in Reading. This merit-based funding is available to both first-year and transfer applicants who are admitted to a degree-seeking program. To qualify, candidates must satisfy the university's English language proficiency requirements and meet specific financial criteria. Recipients must also maintain full-time enrollment status and achieve the necessary academic standards to remain eligible. The award provides $28,000 per year and is renewable for up to four years, or eight semesters of study. Because this is an institutional merit award for international students, it does not require a FAFSA submission, but recipients cannot combine it with other Alvernia scholarships or government funding. Applicants should consult the official university website to confirm current deadlines and application dates.
