About St. Olaf College
St. Olaf College is a private liberal arts and science college offering programs leading to a bachelor's degree (Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Music). Graduate programs are not available at St. Olaf. Located in the safe surroundings of a small town in southern Minnesota (70 km from the Minneapolis/ St. Paul airport), St. Olaf offers a secure community in which to pursue a degree of higher learning. We typically enroll 20-30 international students each year. You will find the college small enough to be a caring community, yet large enough to be diverse.
St. Olaf Scholarships
St. Olaf scholarships can pay up to $22,000 per year, based on financial need. Scholarships are available to students with interest in any field of study who have demonstrated financial need. Once need has been established, scholarships are awarded according to scholastic standing, activity record, test scores, and recommendations. The College offers special scholarships for Norwegian students.
St. Olaf Grants
St. Olaf grants are need-based and range up to as much as $22,000 per year. Funds are awarded to students whose need is not otherwise reasonably met with government grants, student loans, student work and St. Olaf scholarships.
