Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe merit page says first-year students are considered automatically with no separate application, but it does not say this covers international students, so it cannot be confirmed for you.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page states whether admission decisions ignore international applicants' ability to pay, so need-blind status cannot be determined.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions CSS Profile or a separate international aid form; only the Certification of Finances for the I-20 (not an aid application) appears, so this is unclear.
