FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: When are students notified of their tuition reduction?
The admissions office will notify eligible international freshmen at the point of admission into the university. Eligible transfer students will be notified in writing upon receipt of their official (final) transcript from their previous institution(s).
Q: Is this a scholarship? Do I qualify for any scholarships?
"Reduced Tuition" is not a scholarship. It is a tuition reduction available to all eligible international students enrolled full-time. Students are also automatically considered for merit-based scholarships at the time of admission. Please note that these offerings from Millersville do not cover full tuition and fees nor do they bring cost below in-state tuition rates.
Q: Will I receive the tuition adjustment throughout my entire education?
International freshmen may receive the reduction for up to 8 semesters. Transfer students may receive the reduction for up to 6 semesters.Pleae note that this is an automatic process for students enrolled full-time and will not necessarily be listed on your financial portal.
Q: Do students have to transfer from a college or university outside of the United States?
No. Incoming transfer students must be international students (F-1 visa holder) to receive the reduction. They may transfer from either an in-state or out-of-state college or university. If a student is transferring from a non-U.S. institution, he/she must have 12 transferable credits. Credits will be deemed transferable upon receiving an international transcript evaluation from WES or AACRAO.
Q: Can I update my merit scholarship with my final high school transcripts or test scores?
