Information for International Students
Simon’s Rock enthusiastically welcomes applications from international students. Living with and learning from a diverse and talented group of peers is a key component of a Simon’s Rock education. International students greatly enrich our community with their perspectives and experiences. Our small classes and the personalized attention students receive both inside and outside of the classroom help international students to adjust to life on campus and in the United States. In recent years, our student body has included individuals from
Brazil, Bermuda, Burma, Bhutan, China, Dominica, Ecuador, El Salvador,
France, Germany, Israel, Kenya, Korea, Mexico, Namibia, the
Netherlands, Nigeria, Peru, Turkey, Singapore, Sudan, Tibet, the
United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.
International students may apply for either the Acceleration to Excellence Program Scholarship or for regular admission. Specific guidelines for international students are included in the application.
We understand that international students may not be able to come to campus for an interview and are happy to arrange a telephone interview at your convenience.
Because we are unable to offer courses in English as a Second Language we require a strong facility with the English language upon entrance. International students for whom English is not a first language must submit TOEFL scores. These should be sent directly to the Office of Admission or included on the official transcript.
International Students are eligible to receive Simon's Rock institutional financial aid. To determine the amount of financial aid available, the student is required to complete the International Student Financial Aid Application and the International Student Certification of Finances.
Students living abroad, who are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States, will require a student visa to study at Simon's Rock. Following admission to the college, applicants requiring a visa will be sent an I-20, with which they may begin the F-1 student visa application.
