Knox College

Knox is a liberal arts college in Galesburg, Illinois, founded by anti-slavery advocates and historically tied to the Underground Railroad. It runs on a trimester calendar and states that more than 27% of its students are from outside the United States, which is a high proportion for a US liberal arts college. Its aid position is stated with unusual bluntness, and the logic is worth understanding: Knox says its scholarships for international students are so substantial that it does not offer need-based aid to them at all. A Kazakh applicant should therefore treat merit as the only route and plan against a published total of USD 71,376. Every student additionally receives a USD 2,000 Power of Experience grant for a qualifying experiential learning opportunity.
