Unclear
  • Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe pages only say international students 'may be considered' for merit scholarships, and some need separate applications. Nothing says merit is automatic with admission, so Unclear.
  • Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages do not say whether admission decisions for international students ignore ability to pay, so Unclear.
  • Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages only say international students are excluded from the FAFSA requirement. They mention no CSS Profile or international aid form, so Unclear.
