Knox offers merit scholarships for international students. These awards commonly range up to one-half of the comprehensive fee. Students are automatically considered for merit scholarships. All international applicants must submit the Knox Affidavit of Support along with a bank statement, which can be completed by visiting your AppTracker checklist. The ability to afford a Knox education may be a factor in determining the admission of international students who are academically qualified, but do not meet financial qualifications.
When making plans to attend Knox, your family should expect the comprehensive fee to increase by 3 to 5 percent each year and prepare for potential fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Visa Information
Most foreign nationals wishing to enter the United States are required to have a visa. International students who attend Knox College will typically require the F-1 Student Visa. To apply for an F-1 Visa, an I-20 is required, and before issuing the I-20, Knox College must review students’ financial resources and certify sufficient funding.
If you will study at Knox through the F-1 student visa, submit the I-20 request form on your portal at apply.knox.edu/status. You'll also upload a copy of your passport and submit your financial certification documents through this form. Once you receive your I-20, you can proceed with applying for your student visa at your local U.S. embassy or consulate.
If you are an international student already in the U.S., or plan to study at Knox College using a visa other than F-1, please contact the Office of International Student Services.
