Ball State’s beautiful mid-size campus in Muncie, Indiana, provides the intimate atmosphere of a smaller college plus the plentiful resources of a large university.

Each year, Ball State awards comprehensive merit scholarships to new international undergraduate students. We review all international applicants for scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $8,000 per year. We also offer more than 940 graduate assistant jobs to our nearly 1,500 on-campus graduate students. Around 63% of our graduate students receive assistantships and we review all international applicants for assistantships.

Ball State offers conditional admission. The Intensive English Institute (IEI) provides six levels of English training and academic skills building courses. A TOEFL or IELTS are not required for the majority of our programs for students who complete the IEI.
