Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe scholarship page has an 'Automatic Scholarships' heading but no content and no mention of international students, so it is unclear whether you are considered automatically.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe provided pages say nothing about whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account, so no conclusion can be drawn.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention a CSS Profile or a separate aid form for international students. Only an Affidavit of Financial Support is required, to prove funds at admission.
