  • Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe scholarships page says admitted students are automatically considered for the Presidential, Dean's and Tau Transfer scholarships, but it does not mention international students specifically, so it is unclear for you.
  • Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions ignore international students' ability to pay, so this cannot be determined.
  • Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form; only FAFSA and federal-aid forms appear, so it is unclear.
