Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearMerit awards are said to be given through the admissions process, but it is not stated that this applies automatically to international students; they are told to contact Financial Aid for a review, so Unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students consider ability to pay, so it is Unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages only mention FAFSA for need-based aid and never mention CSS Profile or a separate international aid form, so there is no basis for a conclusion.
