Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe pages do not say merit is considered automatically with the admission application for international students. They only describe an invitation-based competition, which is not automatic consideration.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages do not say whether admission decisions ignore international students' ability to pay. They only describe submitting financial proof for the I-20 after admission.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention no CSS Profile or separate international aid form. They mention only FAFSA, which is for U.S. citizens, so this cannot be concluded.
