Wingate offers merit-based scholarships to international students, which can range from US$15,000 to US$30,500 but are not guaranteed. Admitted students learn their merit scholarship amount with their admission decision. The university does not offer full-ride scholarships covering tuition, fees, room and board.
The university strongly encourages students to live on campus. First-year residence halls offer double, triple and quadruple rooms, all air conditioned with Wi-Fi; the five first-year halls are coed by floor, wing or alternating room. Separate graduate housing is also available.
