Qualifications

An international student is a citizen of any country other than the United States who needs a non-immigrant visa to pursue studies in the United States. (Permanent residents of the United States and refugees do not require student visas.) In addition to satisfying AUNE’s requirements for academic acceptance, international students must demonstrate their eligibility for visa approval before they can be admitted.

All international applicants must submit the documentation in the following areas:

  • Proof of a high level of proficiency in the English language is required. This proficiency is demonstrated by taking the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System).
  • Applicants need to achieve a score of at least 550 on the paper TOEFL test, 213 on the computer-based TOEFL test, 79-80 on the Internet-based TOEFL test or 6.0 on the IELTS test.
  • AUNE’s TOEFL Institution Code is 3694
  • TOEFL Study Guide
  • Information on these tests may be obtained at United States embassies, consulates, and information agency offices or by writing directly to TOEFL, CN 6151, Princeton, NJ 08451-6151, USA, or visiting the TOEFL website.
  • Test results must be forwarded directly to Antioch University New England, Office of Admissions, 40 Avon Street, Keene, NH 03431-3516, USA.
  • Unless you will complete your program totally online and will not enter the USA to complete coursework, certified documentation of financial support is necessary. U.S. government loans are not available to international students, and there are no substantial fellowships or assistantships available through Antioch University New England. Students are required to arrange funding from their own sources. International students must submit certified evidence of financial support for their educational and living expenses while at Antioch University New England. Applicants must request from the Office of Admissions the proper form for submitting this certified information. (This information is required in order to complete the I-20 paperwork for obtaining an F-1 student visa.) Current living costs for a single person for one year are estimated at approximately $24,400. Students on F-1 visas are not permitted to work except in limited on-campus employment. Upon request, we can provide international students with a brochure on financial planning which may be helpful for locating sources of educational funding.
  • Antioch University New England must receive official transcripts with English translation directly from the institution(s) of higher learning that you have attended. Please plan on requesting these materials in a timely manner as it may take several months for your university to process your request. Copies of transcripts may be submitted along with your application, but official copies must be received before an admissions decision is made and an I-20 is issued. There are no exceptions or substitutions for official transcripts. You are welcome to use a transcript service like WES or others to help with this process.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Make sure the scholarships and grants that you apply to are open to international students. If you are unsure, contact the person or organization in charge of the scholarship.
  • Allow plenty of time for searching, applying, and receiving any type of scholarship or financial funding. Keep pertinent contact information from organizations and records of your applications for your personal reference.
  • When applying for scholarships, apply to as many as possible. There are many people like you searching and applying for the same scholarships, so do not worry if you do not receive a reply from every organization.
  • Do not give up. There are many scholarships, grants, and funding options out there, so continue to check online websites for new additions.
  • If you are awarded a scholarship or any other type of funding, verify how to obtain the funds and note any deadlines. Write a thank you note to the institution, foundation, grant committee, etc., to express your appreciation.
