FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Financial assistance for international students primarily comes from three sources: graduate assistantships, scholarships, and on-campus employment. A US social security card must be obtained before financial aid is granted. Student loan programs are not available to international students. Students interested in on-campus employment should contact the Student Employment Office upon arrival on Gonzaga. Students interested in applying for an International Student Scholarship and/or a Graduate Assistantship should complete the appropriate application form. International Student Scholarships are awarded in the fall and spring semesters to full-time students on a highly-competitive basis. Graduate Assistants receive an hourly wage that students may contribute to their tuition bills. Assistantships require that recipients work up to six hours per week in the School of Business.
PLACEMENT RESOURCES
Gonzaga's career assistance program is truly unique among area universities, and our placement results are excellent. Our program offers two different services:
- The Career Center provides employment information, assists students in career development through resume preparation and interviewing techniques, and arranges organized career fairs and information visits with recruiters throughout the academic year.
- The Gonzaga Alumni Mentor Program matches both full-time and part-time students with professionals in their fields of interest. This program is a valuable career enhancement tool for Gonzaga MBA and MAcc students and alumni. GAMP offers graduate business students and alumni the opportunity to develop professional networking contacts, exchange information, and share personal experiences and interests.
The University offers an ESL program on campus for those students wanting to gain English language proficiency before enrolling in degree programs offered by the University. Iinternational students who achieve a score less than 570 paper-based (p-bt), 230 computer-based (c-bt) or 88 Internet-based (i-bt) on the TOEFL exam are encouraged to enroll in the ESL program. Additional Post Baccalaureate courses in oral proficiency may be required. The TOEFL/IELTS exam is required for students who have English as their second language. Students who attended a bachelors program where instruction was primarily in English are eligible for a TOEFL waiver. Students who complete the ESL program will still need to pass the TOEFL exam and have an interview. Please contact Amber McKenzie, ESL Program Assistant, at mckenziea@gonzaga.edu more information about the ESL program.
HOUSING
The University maintains a variety of residence halls and apartments, including a new apartment complex designed for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students. In addition, privately owned apartments and houses within walking distance of the University are available for rent. Please contact the Gonzaga Residential Life Office at cannon@gonzaga.edu for more information, or visit the Virtual Housing Board.
Prior to admission all students must submit a record of immunizations. International students must purchase the University medical Insurance plan unless proof of sufficient coverage is provided. To receive a current quote please refer to www.gonzaga.edu/studentinsurance.
