1) International Student Academic Merit Scholarship Awards
These tuition scholarships range from $5,000 USD – $9,000 USD per year and are awarded at the time of admission. Awards are based on outstanding academic achievements as evidenced by grades on transcripts (or mark sheets), results on national examinations.
Academic scholarships are renewable for up to four years with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. International applicants admitted to SUNY Geneseo are automatically considered for an International Student Scholarship. Freshman (first-year) and transfer students are eligible for the International Student Scholarships.

How to Apply
To be considered for admission to SUNY Geneseo, please submit the following documents:
1. Completed Application Form
Complete the Common Application or SUNY Application.
2. Appropriate Academic Records
Freshman Applicants
We also require any official external examination results, if this applies to your school or home country's education system. (These external examination records may be the results of examinations by regional, national or international testing authorities. In many countries, students take an external examination at the end of secondary school studies. Examples include Standard X & XII, IGCSE, WASSCE, CXC, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, etc.)
In some countries, the final external examination results become available too late to meet our application deadlines. If that is your situation, please include that information on your application form.
Transfer Applicants
For current college/university students transferring into SUNY Geneseo, we require official university transcripts up to your most recent completed semester.
Transcripts from foreign universities must be translated into English. In most cases, we will require course descriptions or syllabi in English in order to review your courses for transfer credit to SUNY Geneseo.
If you have completed fewer than 2 semesters of full-time university study, please also submit your official secondary school (high school) transcripts.
3. Proof of English Proficiency
The International Admission Committee requires that all students must provide proof of their English language abilities.
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation, we are aware that many exams are currently postponed or cancelled. In order to provide prospective students with another way to prove English Proficiency, SUNY Geneseo will now accept the Duolingo English Test.
Official results from the following English proficiency exams are accepted:
- TOEFL (internet-based minimum score: 75)
- Institution Code: 2540
- IELTS (minimum score of 6.5 overall. No section can be below 6.0)
- PTE (minimum 58)
- iTEP (minimum 3.7)
- MET
- Eiken Grade Pre-1
- Duolingo English Test (minimum 105)
- Cambridge English
If you are transferring from a college or university within the United States, successful completion of at least 2 full semesters of academic coursework (24 credit hours) with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 may be a sufficient demonstration of English proficiency.
Students applying from high schools in the United States, or from English-medium high schools outside the United States, may have waivers of this testing requirement considered on a case-by-case basis.
4. One letter of recommendation
At least one letter of recommendation, preferably from a teacher, is recommended.
5. Personal Statement
Tell us a little about yourself! The personal statement should be about one page long, detailing your interest in SUNY Geneseo and your major of choice.
6. Financial Statement of Support
The financial statement of support is required before an I-20 will be issued but does not necessarily have to be submitted at the time of application.
7. Passport ID page photocopy
8. SAT/ACT (not required - test optional FAQ)
If you have taken the exam and wish to submit your scores, the International Admission Committee is happy to consider them. Students graduating from high school within the United States are highly encouraged to submit their SAT or ACT scores.
