International Elite Scholarships

Troy University offers a limited number of full and partial scholarships to international students with exceptionally high academic achievements. These scholarships are only available to first year undergraduate (freshman) students entering Troy University with the intent to obtain at least a four year bachelor’s degree. Students must fulfill all regular undergraduate requirements as well as one of the two elite requirements listed below:

The Millennium Scholar's Award (full scholarship: tuition, room and board): Requirements are 31 ACT and/or 1380* SAT 1 and high school Grade Point Average (GPA) equal to an American 3.7 GPA (4.0 scale).

The Chancellor's Award (full tuition): Requirements are 27 ACT and/or 1220* SAT 1 and high school Grade Point Average (GPA) equal to an American 3.5 GPA (4.0 scale).

Both scholarships may be renewed every year that the student attends Troy University and completes the following requirements: Students must maintain full-time status and accumulate a minimum GPA of 3.3 (The Millennium Scholar’s) or 3.0 (The Chancellor’s Award).

* Calculation of SAT score: Current SAT test format consist of three separate tests each worth 800 points. Troy University will only calculate the score obtained onpart 1 (critical reading) and part 2 (math). Your score from part 3 (writing) is not calculated towards the requirements listed above. The requirements must therefore be reached from maximum obtainable of 1600 points, where a minimum of 430 points must be obtained from part 1 (critical reading). If you have taken a test multiple times, you can use the best result from either to “stag” the highest result.
