International Applicants


5Talking3

At Grove City College you will find a diverse community of students, academic majors, activities, and interests that create the framework for a vibrant learning and living environment. Diversity in our community not only creates opportunities for the students who enroll, but enriches the educational experience for all. We celebrate our diverse backgrounds as a reflection of our oneness in Christ. Below is application information for international students.

Admissions Requirements

The Admissions Committee considers each applicant individually using the following criteria:

  • Graduation from and recommendation by an approved secondary school. Taking an academic or college preparatory course is strongly recommended and should include English, history, mathematics, and foreign language. The study of mathematics through trigonometry or its equivalent is required for entrance into the mathematics, chemistry, and engineering programs.
  • If available, test scores from either the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), the American College Testing Program (ACT), or the Classic Learning Test (CLT). 
  • References evidencing excellent character and spiritual interest.
  • Acceptable test scores on the TOEFL exam (minimum 550 paper/213 computer/79-80 internet) or IELTS exam (6.5 – 9).
English Language Requirements

Although several English and communications courses are available at Grove City College, the College does not have a program in English as a Second Language (ESL). Students applying to Grove City College should have a strong background in speaking and writing in English.

Medical Insurance Requirements

In accordance with the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs under the U.S. Department of State, Grove City College offers insurance coverage to international students with these benefits:

  • Medical benefits of at least $50,000 per accident or illness
  • Repatriation of remains in the amount of $7,500
  • Expenses associated with the medical evacuation of the student to their home country in the amount of $10,000
  • A deductible not exceeding $500 per accident or illness

If a student declines enrollment in Grove City College's medical insurance plan, they must demonstrate proof of insurance up to or greater than the minimums listed above.

How to Apply

  • Admissions application
  • Essay
  • TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, ACT, or CLT scores
  • Two letters of recommendation
  • Official secondary transcript (in English)

View our detailed Application Tips before opening an application account, and read over our Application Instructions, paying close attention to the application checklist and deadlines.

Financial Aid

The College offers a limited number of partial scholarships to students who are academically prepared and demonstrate financial need. Partial scholarships, which are applied directly to the cost of tuition, are renewable for four years provided the student maintains a 2.00 GPA and an upstanding social record as a full-time student. Students must continue to show financial need and submit the International Student Financial Aid Application annually.

Typically, the yearly amount of the partial scholarship remains consistent for the duration of the student's attendance. It is assumed that, in accepting a partial scholarship from the College, the student intends to complete an undergraduate degree at Grove City College.

Work Opportunities

The College has work opportunities available on campus to provide financial assistance. These positions are prioritized by financial need. Students who excel in particular fields are often given an opportunity to serve as departmental, laboratory, or library assistants. By working five to six hours weekly, a student can earn approximately $1,000 during the academic year. Students are paid monthly for the number of hours they work and may use the money as needed for college-related expenses. Freshmen are not permitted to work more than 10 hours a week. Upperclassmen may work up to 20 hours a week.

Work opportunities in maintenance capacities are also available on campus during breaks and summer vacation. Students who work on campus over the summer typically earn about $1,500. Since on-campus housing is not provided during breaks and summer vacation, it is necessary for students to find off-campus accommodations.

International students can apply for on-campus work through the Office of Student Employment. For additional information on financial aid contact us at 724-458-3300 or financialaid@gcc.edu.

VISA Information

The SEVIS I-20 will be issued to incoming freshmen students after the student has been accepted to Grove City College and partial payment of semester fees has been received. Students must complete all financial arrangements before arriving at the College.
