Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page says each international application is considered for merit, but not explicitly automatically with the admission application; the general scholarships page does not mention international students, so it is not conclusive.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe college requires international applicants to meet a minimum level of family financial support, so it is not need-blind, but there is no explicit statement, so this is Unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe page only says international applicants must provide financial information with their application; it does not name the CSS Profile or a separate aid form as required for aid.
