Lewis University automatically considers every admitted international undergraduate student for a merit-based scholarship worth up to $18,000 per year, applicable to full-time study at the main campus in Romeoville, Illinois. The award is calculated automatically once a student submits the online application and required admission documents, using the applicant's prior secondary or post-secondary GPA converted to a US 4.0-scale equivalent (via the Scholaro conversion tool), with higher converted GPAs earning larger awards. No separate scholarship application is required. This program is published on Lewis University's official international-admissions tuition and financial aid page, confirming it is specifically designed for and open to international undergraduate students rather than being restricted to US citizens or residents.
