Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe general page says the merit amount is set from the application reviewed at admission, but it does not say this applies to international students or that no separate application is needed, so it is unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages do not say whether admission decisions for international students consider ability to pay; they only say need-based aid is unavailable, so there is not enough evidence.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention the CSS Profile or any separate aid form for international students, so it is unclear whether one is required.
