The Wien International Scholarship Program

The Wien International Scholarship Program has funded hundreds of Brandeis students from all over the world. This scholarship meets the full demonstrated financial need of each recipient, based on a complete review of financial documentation. The Wien Scholarship is awarded to exceptional international applicants who demonstrate strong academic achievement and extracurricular or community involvement.

Please note that there is no separate application process or alternative requirements for the Wien International Scholarship Program. Brandeis does not partner with any external individuals or organizations for the selection of our Wien Scholars. All applications  for the Wien International Scholarship program must be submitted directly to Brandeis via the Common Application or Coalition Application.
