Ohio Wesleyan University

Ohio Wesleyan is a liberal arts university in Delaware, Ohio, where international students make up about ten percent of the student body and come from over 60 countries. Its funding structure is unusually transparent, because the headline award is automatic and unconditional on academics. The Bashford International Scholarship pays USD 37,000 per year for the Fall 2026 session to eligible international students, requires no additional application, and is not awarded on the basis of minimum GPA or test scores. Against total billed costs of USD 71,922 a year, that establishes a known starting point of roughly USD 34,922 before any need-based aid. There is no application fee on any of three application routes. Ohio Wesleyan states plainly that it does not offer fully funded scholarships and does not offer loans to international students.
