International House

International Students from 20 different countries are selected to participate in the International House Programs. International Students accepted to participate are eligible for 'Out-of State Tuition Waiver' and 'Housing Scholarship' for one year provided that students meet the criteria to continue in second semester. Pertinent information concerning the International House Program:

• 1. Tuition discount.
• 2. The Scholarship recipient will need funds for transportation to the United States and for the return trip to his/her native country.
• 3. Students are responsible for their personal, social expenses and for expenses that are not covered by the scholarship.
• 4. With very few exceptions, international students cannot work. There is very little work on campus for international students, so funds for personal expenses will be necessary.
• 5. International House members will be expected to spend approximately 5-10 hours per week in forums, seminars, social events, and community groups.

American students are selected by an application and interview process. Download the application here. If you have trouble downloading the application, please contact the International House.

American students usually have a wide variety of majors. Efforts are made so that American students in the program represent the general composition of Jacksonville State University. These students are usually involved in every aspect of college life. Members have been SGA senators, ballerinas, band members, drama students, and members of ROTC, honor societies, professional clubs, and JSU athletics. This diversity provides the international students the opportunity to observe our American culture firsthand.

American students in the program pay for their college expenses. There are no extra fees or charges for membership in the International House Program.

We do not want to miss the opportunity to host you at our campus. Please check important application deadlines information below:
