Ursuline College

Pepper Pike, OH

Are undocumented students considered international or domestic?: Since we are private and do not have in-state/out of state tuition students are not required to provide proof of residency. An undocumented student is treated as any other applicant, but may still be required to complete some international student application requirements, such as proof of funding.
Are you need-blind for undocumented students?: We do review applications need-blind, but we may require admitted international and undocumented students to provide proof of funding for the first year.
Are there any restrictions on merit aid for undocumented students at your school?: All students, including international students, undocumented students, and those who choose not to disclose their immigration status, are eligible for merit based aid. The highest merit scholarship amount is $22,500/year.
Does your school provide merit aid specially for undocumented students?: We do not have any specific scholarships for undocumented students. Those students are eligible for the same merit-based aid as other students.
Other admissions information: We encourage students to do whatever they are most comfortable with.

Are undocumented students eligible for need-based aid?: No, we do not have need-based aid for undocumented students, but we do offer merit aid.
If need-based aid is not available, is there a feasible path undocumented students can take to pay for their education with stackable merit scholarships, loans and/or grants from your school?: Ursuline only offers merit-based aid for international and undocumented students and does not offer full-tuition scholarships to any students, including domestic students. We encourage international students and undocumented students to seek out third-party scholarships and grants, which they can stack with Ursuline offered aid.
What would be the requirements for such scholarships and what would a student's chances of getting them?: Students can see our scholarship grid for domestic undergraduate students here and for international students here.

Are there organized groups or clubs comprised of or advocating for undocumented students in your school?: We don’t currently have any organized groups like this on campus.
How often does your office receive applications from undocumented students?: We do not track that information. Since we are private and do not have in-state/out of state tuition students are not required to provide proof of residency. An undocumented student is treated as any other applicant.

Special contact: There is no designated contact point for undocumented students, but the student’s Admission Counselor would be able to connect them to any resources they may need. If they do disclose their status as an undocumented student, they could also be in touch wi
