Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesOnly the 15% Merit Scholarship is said to be automatically assessed; the 50% Academic Excellence Scholarship needs a separate application form, so merit aid is not shown to be automatic across the board.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe supplied pages say nothing about whether admission decisions for international students ignore ability to pay, so need-blind status cannot be determined.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention CSS Profile or a university-wide aid form for international students. They only describe separate applications for individual scholarships, so this stays unclear.
