International students are eligible to receive academic merit scholarships that range up to $32,000 per year. Accepted students are notified of these awards at the time of admission to the College. No separate scholarship application is required.

International students are not eligible for U.S. federal aid and therefore are unable submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. Your International Student Financial Aid Application consequently provides our Financial Aid Team with further information to determine what institutional aid you may be eligible for beyond your academic scholarship. 

The Statement of Financial Support provides proof of funding for an international student’s entire academic year at RMC. International students studying at US colleges and universities are federally required to prove financial ability to attend the school of their choice.

Many students provide family or sponsor bank statements, and these statements or other documentation must amount to at least the estimated balance for one year after financial aid is subtracted. 

 Every student who applies to Randolph-Macon College is automatically considered for an academic scholarship. To be considered for additional financial aid, an international student must submit an International Student Financial Aid Application which allows our Financial Aid Team to consider the student for additional institutional grants and work study opportunities

Although RMC does not provide any scholarships that cover the full cost of attendance, we will do our best in the application and financial aid review process to keep your financial concerns in mind. We do not have an application fee, and we consider all students for highly competitive academic scholarships based on a student’s cumulative weighted GPA. 

  Our minimum English language proficiency requirements are as follows:

• TOEFL (Internet iBT Test): 80
• TOEFL (Paper Test): 550
• IELTS: 6.5
• Duolingo: 105

As an institution that is unable to ensure meeting full financial need for every student, we are unable to provide waivers for English proficiency exams at this time.

 Our Admissions team requests that all high school transcripts be translated to English prior to our application review. If you need assistance translating, we suggest visiting the following websites: WES and SpanTran. 

To apply for an F-1 visa, you will need an I-20 Visa Eligibility Form from Randolph-Macon College which can be issued after completing all necessary steps for admission, paying the $400 enrollment deposit, and completing the Statement of Financial Support. 

Once your I-20 has been issued, international students must follow F-1 Visa Procedures.

Please note: if your intention is to change visa types from a current U.S. Visa other than F-1 to an F-1 Student Visa—you’ll need to exit and re-enter the country in order to obtain F-1 status.
