Admission to Malone University is selective. To be considered for admission, a student should submit the following materials:

1. A completed Malone application form: click here.
2. Certified copies of original records and transcripts mailed by the registrar of each secondary school, college, or university attended (translations not acceptable without a copy of the original). 

• Students who have earned university-level course credits in a foreign country comparable to the course credits in the United States system must transfer those credits to Malone University. 
• Foreign transcripts must be evaluated prior to enrollment at Malone. Malone recommends evaluations from either the Foreign Credit Services of America (FCSA) or the World Education Services (WES).

FCSA…visit their website at www.fcsa.biz or request an evaluation directly from them at the following address and phone number: Foreign Credit Services of America (FCSA), 1910 Justin Lane, Austin, TX 78757-2411, USA, Telephone # 512-459-8428, Fax # 512-459-4565

WES…visit their website at www.wes.org or request an evaluation directly from them at the following address and phone number: World Education Services, Inc. (WES), PO Box 745, Old Chelsea Station, New York, NY 10113-0745, USA, Telephone # 212-966-6311, Fax # 212-966-6395 

• Upon receipt of the evaluation of transcripts from FCSA or WES, Malone University will determine which credits will be applied toward a degree. Please note that no I-20 will be granted without the student satisfying this requirement. 

3.  The results of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT I) or Academic College Test (ACT) for students for whom English is the primary language. Scores must be sent directly from the testing agency.

4.  The results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for applicants for whom English is not the native language. Scores must be sent directly from the testing agency---please note the following requirements:

• Paper-Based Total: 550
• Computer-Based Total: 213
• Internet-Based Total: 79-80  

    5.  Two reference forms from teachers, pastors, etc. 

    6.  A signed and notarized Affidavit of Support from a parent, guardian, or sponsor.

   7. If accepted, a $2000 US deposit is required in advance of issuance of the I-20 for receipt of a student VISA ($200 deposit if Canadian). The deposit is necessary in order to reserve housing and register for classes.

Upon receipt of the student VISA, travel arrangements may be initiated. Also, please note that Malone University requires full payment for each semester before classes begin. 

* Scholarships may be available on the basis of academic, music, or athletic merit. In addition, Malone offers two full-tuition international student scholarships a year. Students who wish to be considered for these scholarships must apply and be accepted by January 15 prior to the fall semester of intended enrollment.  Financial Aid awards continue for the typical length of time required to complete a degree program, as long as the student remains in good academic standing and is in compliance with the Malone University Community Agreement. 

Please know that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security charges a fee to any international student applying for a visa. The fee will be collected by mail or by credit card via the Internet. This fee must be paid before applying for a visa to enter the United States. 

Thank you again for your interest in Malone University.  We know that the application process for International students can be complicated and we are ready to assist you in any way we can.
