Students who are not U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or other eligible non-citizens (status of refugee, asylum, humanitarian parole, Cuban-Haitian Entrant) are considered international students and are not eligible for federal financial assistance, but may apply for Johns Hopkins University funding. Students who hold F1, F2, J1, J2, or G series visas are not eligible for federal financial assistance, but may apply for Johns Hopkins University funding.

Johns Hopkins University offers need-based scholarships to undergraduate international students. Approximately 10% of the incoming international freshmen received need-based scholarships. The average scholarship is $25,000, but individual amounts can be more or less, depending on the financial need of the student. Because funds are limited, Johns Hopkins University takes need for financial aid into consideration when making the Admissions decision. If an applicant applies for financial aid and is determined to have financial need, Johns Hopkins University will offer admission to that student only if funds are available to meet that student's financial need.

Undergraduate Students

To apply for the Johns Hopkins University International Scholarship, complete the College Scholarship Service Profile at https://profileonline.collegeboard.com. In addition, submit a copy of your parents' federal tax return from your home country.

Any applicant who cannot complete College Scholarship Service Profile form should contact the Office of Student Financial Services by email to fin_aid@jhu.edu to explain why you cannot complete the application and to request a paper application alternative.

NOTE: The Certification of Finances Form is a required Admissions form, not a financial aid form. This form must be completed by all international students (even those living in the United States) and should be returned to the Admissions Office. For questions about completing this form, please contact the Admissions Office. The form is available on the Admissions website.
