Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe International Merit page says eligible students are considered automatically with no separate application. However, it ends after Term 3 2026, so check it against your intake.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages say nothing about whether admission decisions ignore international applicants' ability to pay, so need-blind cannot be concluded.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions a CSS Profile or a separate aid form for international students. We only know the Merit scholarship needs no separate application, so nothing can be concluded for aid in general.
