Financial Aid and Scholarships
Financial aid is available to students who have applied and been accepted into a program. Financial assistance for Intensive English Language Program students is limited. Because financial assistance from the U.S. government is not available to international students, other funding is available through Fresno Pacific University.
Scholarship available to IELP students:
- Church Match (up to $1,000 per year)
-
Students will be considered for scholarships for which they are eligible, but scholarships are not guaranteed!!
Many international students find sponsors through their own personal contacts and/or various organizations to help fund their tuition and living expenses. We encourage you to look for financial sources such as these.
On-campus work
International students are only allowed to work for Fresno Pacific University. Openings for on-campus jobs are advertised in the Career Services Center, not on-line. Employment is limited and NOT guaranteed. Each student must apply and possibly interview to get a job. Students should not plan to make a lot of money from on-campus work. Minimum wage is $8.00 per hour. Students may work up to 20 hours a week while school is in session and 40 hours a week during vacations.
English language students are likely to get jobs in the cafeteria, gardening, cleaning or maintenance.
