Cost for a year. One year comes to 43,972 USD, before any scholarship. 6 scholarships are confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear.

Unclear
  • Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearFreshman merit awards are automatic based on test scores and grades, but the page does not state this applies to international students, so it is Unclear.
  • Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions consider international students' ability to pay, so it is Unclear.
  • Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe page only requires financial documents for the F-1 visa, with no mention of CSS Profile or a separate international aid form, so it is Unclear.
