Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe academic scholarship page says no separate application and results come with the admission letter, but it does not state this specifically for international students, so it is unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission ignores international applicants' ability to pay; they only require proof of funds to issue the I-20.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions CSS Profile. The International Student Affidavit is proof of funds for the I-20, not an aid application, so no aid form requirement is stated.
