Resource of the Week
Research Universities Database
This database is full of up-to-date websites that can help you start your research into universities from over 15 countries. Most of them are search engines where you put in a major or course you want to study as well as other things you are looking for in a university and it will provide you with a starting list of universities you can then begin to research deeper.
I use this all the time when researching universties because it contains the best and most up to date tools that help to speed up the process.

SAT
Did you know that the SAT test is now all digital? Did you also know that for current juniors, many universities that have required the SAT in the past, will not require it for you? To see the latest on which universities are test optional, click here.
I would advise students who plan to apply to universities in the USA still take the SAT, just in case you eventually apply to a university that requires SAT scores. For juniors, you should take the test once or twice your junior year and possibly a third time your senior year.

The earlier students download our digital testing app, Bluebook™, the more time they’ll have to prepare by taking a full-length practice test and studying with Official Digital SAT Prep on Khan Academy®.

A few updates:
OWU’s regular admission deadline is March 1, so if you have students who are still looking for a small university (1,500 students) with over 70 majors, please consider OWU! Our full tuition scholarships have a priority deadline of January 15.
It’s free to apply, we are test optional (no SAT/ACT required), and all students are considered for merit scholarships.
Our average scholarship for international students was $35,000 last year (per year). Every student is automatically considered for a merit award. No matter in what application round a student applies, applicants receive a decision within 2-3 weeks after their application is complete.
All students are guaranteed housing all 4 years and we recently opened a new first year residence and senior apartment village
We’ve added eSports and pre-nursing, and public health
Bashford and International Baccalaureate ranging from $10,000 to $42,000 per year (apply by March 1) and the Schubert Full Tuition Scholarship (apply by Jan. 15)
Automatic consideration for merit scholarships
97% of international students receive some financial assistance from OWU
Students should submit the International Student Financial Aid form (available online through the applicant portal)
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of need and/or merit
Standardized testing (SAT/ACT) is optional for all scholarship applicants
Meek Community Service and Leadership Scholarship worth $10,000 per year (or $40,000 over the course of four years) rewards two incoming, first-year students each year who exhibit outstanding participation in community service and strong leadership skills. Students who receive this scholarship are expected to maintain their high standards of service and continue to lead within the Ohio Wesleyan community. The Meek Scholarship can be stacked on top of other awards a student may receive. Students need to apply for the Meek Community Service and Leadership Scholarship before February 1.
Why OWU, you may ask?
OWU is a College that Changes Lives
Just 30 minutes from Columbus, Ohio (the 14th largest city in the US) and 2 minutes walk from the vibrant yet safe downtown Delaware, Ohio
More than 70 majors – some unique ones include zoology, health and human kinetics, BFA in music, astrophysics, data analytics, and many more cool majors
Every student graduates having completed several research and internships through OWU Connection Experiences ultimately leading to a rate of 97% job and graduate school placement (even during COVID)
Questions from students, parents and counselors can email at kkcrosby@owu.edu. Or schedule a meeting or virtual info session!
