In recent years, the College has also admitted a one-year exchange student from the University of Tokyo, and each year the Japanese Foreign Ministry supports one junior diplomat for two years of study at Swarthmore.
Financial aid is available to foreign students who are applying as freshmen.
None is available for transfers, so the College does not accept transfer applications from foreign students who require aid. About half the total student body is on financial aid, and about one third of the international students are on financial aid. It is very important to complete the financial aid documentation required by our Financial Aid Office in a timely fashion. For more information, visit the Financial Aid Office's site and their information for international students . No, it is only need-blind for U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
