Financial aid comes from federal, state, EMU and private sources, some of which international students will be eligible for.

Every year about 400 new international students come to Eastern Michigan University to study, and there are approximately 1,000 international students that call EMU home. International students come to EMU currently from about 87 countries and study at the graduate and undergraduate level.
