St. Olaf College Undergraduate Program in Sociology / Anthropology

St. Olaf College Undergraduate Program in Sociology/Anthropology and Academic Scholarship Program, Northfield, Minnesota

Founded in 1874 by Norwegian Lutheran immigrants, St. Olaf is a nationally ranked liberal arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

St. Olaf students work closely with dedicated professors who challenge them to grow in mind, body and spirit. They have the opportunity to conduct graduate-level research, study abroad in nearly every corner of the world, perform in some of the world's great concert halls and contribute to athletic championships.

Degree-seeking students may apply for international scholarships that may cover up to tuition fees; average awards are half of tuition. No full scholarships are offered. Although there is a single application for these scholarships, the faculty and Admissions Office will confer three tiers of awards: the Buntrock Scholarship ($14,000/year) , the Presidential Scholarship ($8,500/year) , and the St. Olaf Scholarship ($5,000/year) .

Application Deadline

Scholarships: January 15
General Admission: February 1

Eligibility Requirements

Scholarships To apply for financial aid, international students should complete the International Student Financial Aid Application. There are no minimum standards placed on applying for the Buntrock Scholarship program. Selection of Buntrock award recipients is based primarily on academic performance in high school, and is highly competitive. In awarding these scholarships, St. Olaf seeks exceptional students with energy and initiative, independence, originality, a sense of humor, and concern for others.

All international applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing System). Minimum TOEFL score is 80 (IBT), 213 (CBT), or 550 (PBT).

All degree-seeking applicants must take the SAT-I (Scholastic Aptitude Test) or ACT (American College Test) no later than January and request that the results be mailed directly to St. Olaf.

Official transcripts (and diploma, if you have finished secondary schooling) from at least the past four years of your studies must be submitted for evaluation before an admissions decision can be made. If admitted, international students who have completed a year or two of university work may receive credit for previously completed work, if such work is equivalent to courses offered at St. Olaf. For criteria on transcripts see website.
