International Scholarship/Work Study program

A few work study scholarships are available to students from outside the United States each year, who could not otherwise afford to attend. The U.S. government will not allow international students to be employed off campus but they will allow them to work on campus in two types of work study programs.

1. Full Scholarship
2. Tuition Scholarship

NOTE:  A work study position does not provide for a spouse and/or family.

CFNI is not accredited by any organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education; therefore, we are unable to offer financial assistance such as federal grants and loans.
