The Cornell University Scholarship for the 2025-2026 academic year is a need-based financial aid program primarily for admitted international undergraduate students. It is designed to cover all or part of the costs of study, including tuition, housing, meals, health insurance, and other expenses associated with university life. This scholarship is awarded to applicants who have demonstrated genuine financial need through a comprehensive application, including the CSS Profile and proof of income. Cornell is committed to meeting 100% of the demonstrated financial need of admitted international students, which may lead to full coverage of study costs for eligible recipients.
