The Imago Dei Scholarship is one of Simpson University's institutional scholarships and is explicitly designed for students from outside the USA, making a four-year private Christian undergraduate education achievable for them. It is aimed at international/non-USA applicants who display exemplary academic skill and express a desire to promote culture and equality on campus. Because eligibility is defined around students from outside the USA, it is a scholarship specifically open to (and targeted at) international undergraduate students, rather than being restricted to US citizens or residents.
