Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page says newly accepted students are automatically considered for merit scholarships, but that sentence does not mention international students, so it cannot be confirmed for you.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages say nothing about whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account, so this cannot be determined.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages only mention the FAFSA for U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens. They do not mention a CSS Profile or a separate international aid form, so this is unclear.
