Tulane offers a variety of generous need- and merit-based scholarship opportunities for international students. All applicants are considered for a partial merit scholarship by completing the Common Application for admission. To be considered for the Tulane University Sub-Saharan Africa Leadership Award, however, international students should complete the following 3 steps, as the University may evaluate both their need and merit in the awarding process: Complete the Common Application for admission, complete the CSS Profile by the financial aid deadlines, and complete Tulane's Declaration & Certification of Finances. The First-Year Early Decision Application Due is November 1, the First-Year Early Action Application Due is November 10, and the First-Year Regular Decision Application Due is January 15. Students may visit the scholarship's website or contact the Office of Financial Aid for more information.
