Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearNo page describes merit scholarships being considered automatically with the admission application for international students, so there is no basis for a conclusion.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearPages say admissions ignores ability to pay and citizenship does not affect review, but none explicitly says need-blind applies to international students; the full-need pledge mentions only U.S. students.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?YesThe international students page requires indicating interest in aid on the admission application and submitting the CSS PROFILE to be considered for scholarships.
