Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearNo page says merit is considered automatically with the admission application; many awards require FAFSA, a separate application or the UNCF application, and it is unclear whether the International Scholarship needs one.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students ignore ability to pay; the only requirement is proof of finances for the I-20.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention no CSS Profile or international aid form; the affidavit of financial support is for I-20 issuance, not for applying for aid.
