Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page describes test-score-based scholarships but does not say whether they are considered automatically with the admission application or need a separate form, so this is unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether the university considers an international applicant's ability to pay when making admission decisions, so need-blind status is unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention a CSS Profile or a separate international aid form. The Affidavit of Financial Support is only for the I-20 and visa, not an aid application.
