Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe international page says admission and scholarship decisions come after all documents are submitted, but it does not clearly say merit is reviewed automatically for international students, so it stays Unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether the college considers ability to pay when admitting international students (it only asks for proof of funds for the I-20), so this cannot be concluded.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention no CSS Profile or separate international aid form. The financial documents listed are for the I-20, and it is unclear whether they relate to aid.
