Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe site says the admission application doubles as the Merit Scholarship application, but that sentence does not name international students, so it is not confirmed for this group.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?NoThe college uses a need-aware policy for international students, meaning your ability to pay is weighed in the admission decision. It is not need-blind.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form. The Certification of Finances form is an admission document, so the answer remains unclear.
