Eligibility Requirements
Scholarships To apply for financial aid, international students should complete the International Student Financial Aid Application.

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).
