"Before I came to Lehigh, I had no idea what I wanted to do in the future. But this program has already affected me. I’ve learned so much about globalization and I understand the concept of inter-connectedness so much more. It’s definitely increased my interest in other cultures."
- Meredith Aach

Important Information for International Students
Since Lehigh University does not allocate institutional funding (need-based financial aid or merit scholarship) for international transfer students, all non-U.S. citizens are required to submit the Certificate of Finances with their application for transfer admission. If an international student does not submit this important item, the application will be considered incomplete and a final decision will not be rendered. The Certificate of Finances must be accompanied by a signed letter form a bank or financial institution verifying that a student can be supported to at least $49,000.00 for the 2007-2008 academic year.
Where evaluation of prior college or university courses is concerned, Lehigh University prefers students to submit their official transcripts on a “course-by course” basis. International students must also submit course descriptions (translated to English) with their completed application for admission.
* Course descriptions and textbook listings can either accompany the transfer application for admission or sent via e-mail to brb5@lehigh.edu. If sent via e-mail, please include your name and institution.
† The Lehigh University Transfer Student Financial Aid Form requires a Lehigh Identification Number (LIN), which is issued by the Office of Admissions upon receipt of the transfer application for admission.
