Hi, I am an international student and will apply to IE University (Madrid) this 2018 Fall. I was wondering if anyone knows how much the total cost of this university ends up being, and what are my chances to get a good scholarship? I have a 3.6 GPA (upward trend, I had a 2.9 freshmen, and a 3.9 junior) and am the captain of the varsity soccer team. I have been told that they don’t care much about the SATs, so I will try to gain an athletic scholarship as well. PLEASE Help!
Are you confident that they have athletic scholarships at all? That would be extremely unusual for a European university.
I honestly don´t think they will, that is why I am opting to receive some aid for it, not a scholarship.
Well, youve taken the SATs so you could be exempted from taking the ie admission test. Tuition would cost approximately 20000 euros per year (given that you are not taking the language proficiency track or the northwestern llm programme cuz those would cost more. Although there isnt a scholarship exclusively for athletes, there are still 17 scholarships you could choose from (everyone could apply up to three scholarships and the scholarship of the highest amount would be granted.) Id say you could apply the IE Foundation Scholarship for Personal excellence which targets applicants with excellent aptitude for a non-academic activity (sports, cultural or social activities, etc.). Hope this helps. =)
For more information, please visit https://www.ie.edu/financial-aid/bachelor-students/scholarships-fellowships/ie-scholarships/. You as an international student could also apply for an additional loan up to 30000 euros offered by the university.
Thank you so much!
