Saint Mary's University of Minnesota International Merit-Based Scholarships

About this scholarship

Saint Mary's University of Minnesota International Merit-Based Scholarships are automatic undergraduate merit awards for international applicants to the Winona campus. The official international scholarship page lists four annual award levels: the De LaSalle Scholarship at $30,000, the Presidential Scholarship at $28,000, the Trustee Scholarship at $27,000, and the Saint Mary's Scholarship at $25,500. Students do not submit a separate scholarship application; the university reviews students for these awards after the admission application and required materials are complete. The awards are partial funding because they reduce tuition but do not cover the full cost of tuition, fees, residence, meals, insurance, travel, books, and personal expenses. The scholarship page states that international students who qualify are considered for merit aid, and the admission process requires academic records and English-language documentation under Saint Mary's international admission rules. Award values are annual and are intended to support undergraduate study, with renewal tied to maintaining eligibility and academic progress. Because the scholarship is reviewed through admission, students begin through the undergraduate application and should complete the file early enough to receive an admission and aid decision before arranging visa documentation.
