Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesInternational merit scholarships are based on secondary school transcripts and awarded automatically to qualifying students, with no separate scholarship application.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo sentence says whether admission ignores ability to pay. Berry requires a Certification of Finances, but that alone is not enough to conclude Yes or No.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention no CSS Profile or separate aid form. The Certification of Finances is an admission requirement, and it is unclear whether it counts as an aid form, so this is unresolved.
