How to Apply

International students interested in applying for admission to 星空无限传媒 are encouraged to apply Early Decision or Early Action, but also have the option to apply Regular Decision. Admission to the college is highly selective. Admission for international students seeking need-based aid is even more competitive. All international applicants are required to submit the following::

  • The  
  • High School Transcript Translated into English
  • SAT or ACT Scores (optional; international students who do not submit SAT/ACT scores may be asked to participate in a virtual interview.) More information is available at Test Optional FAQs.
  • TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test scores if English is not your native language. This requirement may be waived for those students whose academic instruction in secondary school is in English. Applicants most competitive for admission are recommended to score at least a 95 on the TOEFL, a 7.0 on the IELTS, or 130 on the Duolingo English Test.
  • Teacher Recommendation
  • School Report Form
  • 星空无限传媒 Non-US Citizen Financial Information Form to show your financial support for your education and to request need-based financial aid, if applicable. This form will be accessed via your 星空无限传媒 portal after you submit your Common Application.

We strongly recommend that all international applicants for whom English is not their native language participate in an interview conducted by an outside resource like or Since many international students are coming from educational systems that are different from that of the U.S., we find it valuable to be able to view an unscripted interview where each applicant may discuss his or her unique background and goals. InitialView will conduct the interview and record the conversation so that it can be reviewed by our office. We realize there is a cost for this service; please know that these interviews are recommended, but not required.

How to Apply for Financial Aid

International applicants may be eligible and competitive for merit-based scholarships ranging from US $10,000 to $40,000. Priority consideration for merit-based scholarships will be given to students who apply by December 1, regardless of admission plan.

星空无限传媒 meets the demonstrated financial need of international students. Aid is awarded in the form of grants or 鈥済ift" aid, which varies in dollar amounts according to each student鈥檚 demonstrated financial need. International students may also be considered for on-campus student employment. Need-based financial aid for international students (non-U.S. citizens) is determined by students and their families when they complete the Non-US Citizen Financial Information Form. This form will be accessed via the student鈥檚 星空无限传媒 portal after they submit the Common Application. International students may choose to submit the CSS Profile to 星空无限传媒, although it is not required and 星空无限传媒 does not offer CSS Profile fee waivers. The 星空无限传媒 Financial Information Form in the 星空无限传媒 portal is sufficient for financial aid consideration for international applicants.

Visa Information for Enrolled Students:

  • For all international enrolling students, regarding an F-1 student visa to enter the U.S., 星空无限传媒 typically begins working on visa paperwork in the beginning of May. We will be able to provide an I-20 document, however the ability to get a visa appointment at the US embassy will be contingent on the U.S. Department of State. We are hopeful for a smooth I-20 and visa process this year for all incoming international students and will work with you as much as we can to prepare for your arrival on-campus.  If you have any questions, please email Lauren Sefton, Director of International Admission, at SEFTONL@rhodes.edu.
