Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe general scholarships page says you only need to apply to Gordon to be eligible for academic scholarships. But that passage does not mention international students, so it may not apply to you.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages do not say whether admission decisions ignore international students' ability to pay, so there is no basis for a conclusion.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention the CSS Profile or a separate aid form for international students, so the requirement is unclear.
