Proof of Financial Support

Though proof of financial support is not required at the application stage, it is required before the I-20 document may be issued for the F-1 student visa appointment. Therefore, to expedite the process, prospective students are encouraged to submit proof of financial support with other application materials.

FAQs for International Students

How do I send in my application materials?

After you submit your application, you will have access to an application status page. On that page you will find your checklist for your documents. Please use this checklist to upload your documents and keep track of which documents you still need to submit.

How do I send my transcripts?

Transcripts must be sent to us directly with a completed transcript evaluation. Evaluations must be done through a NACES member, such as WES, ECE, or SPANTRAN. The evaluation service will send Carroll University the completed evaluation along with your transcripts. There will be a fee associated with the evaluation and Carroll is unable to cover this fee for applicants. We cannot accept emailed transcripts or evaluations from applicants. We are unable to waive this requirement.

Can I request a waiver for my proof of English proficiency exam?

In most cases we are not able to grant waivers for the English proficiency exam. Please see here for detailed information.

Do you offer scholarships?

Carroll University does not offer scholarships for graduate studies. We encourage all international applicants to research local or governmental grants, scholarships, and funds to assist them with their studies. We also maintain a list of outside scholarships for graduate school students that we encourage
applicants to review. These scholarships are not provided by Carroll and we are unable to answer any questions on them. Please note- not all scholarships on this list are eligible for international students. Click here to download the list.

Do you offer teaching graduate assistantships?

Carroll does not offer graduate assistantships where the assistant teaches undergraduate courses. All Carroll University courses are taught by faculty.
