Sarah Lawrence College awards limited, need-based gift aid to international students (holders of non-U.S. passports). As a highly selective college, we do not offer specific "merit scholarships." After we decide to admit a student, the College awards financial aid based upon the student’s demonstrated need.

To apply for financial aid, you will need to send the following documents:

1. The Sarah Lawrence Application for Financial Aid for International Graduate Students. It is extremely important that you fill this form out accurately and submit it on time.
2. You will also need to supply either translated tax returns or translated statements of income from your employers. Some countries do not have income tax and so you will not be able to furnish us with tax receipts. We still need official documentation of annual income. An official letter on company letterhead from an employer, for example, is acceptable. We need to have as much information and documentation as possible about your income and assets in order to assess your financial need.

Both of these documents should be sent, postmarked no later than February 15th to:

This is two weeks before our regular admission deadline.

When the Office of Financial Aid receives both documents, your application for financial aid will be considered complete. Once the Office of Graduate Studies makes an admission decision, your financial aid package will be calculated and notice of your financial aid award will accompany your admission decision letter.
