Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe quoted sentence says only 'Students' without naming international students, so on its own it does not explicitly establish automatic merit consideration for them.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages do not say whether admission decisions for international students consider ability to pay, so Unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention a CSS Profile or a separate international aid form; merit is considered automatically, so there is not enough basis to conclude.
