International students must prove English proficiency in one of three ways: satisfactory scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), a written score of 550, a computer score of 213 or an internet score of 79 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or successful completion of the 109 level at any ELS Language Center.

Greensboro College has limited merit-based financial aid available for international students on a first-come, first-served basis. Students with outstanding academic preparation are considered to be the strongest candidates.
Greensboro College evaluates each student's application for admission to determine eligibility for merit-based aid. Prospective students are evaluated on high school or previous college grade point average, SAT or ACT score, strength of the curriculum, extracurricular activities, demonstration of leadership and community service participation.
