Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe sentence only says eligibility is determined during admission review; it doesn't name international students or clearly say no separate application is needed.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe provided pages say nothing about whether admission decisions for international students consider ability to pay, so no conclusion can be drawn.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention a CSS Profile or a separate international aid form, so this is unclear.
