Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page says awards are offered at the time of application at the Global Education Office's discretion, but does not say whether consideration is automatic or needs a separate application, so it is unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students consider ability to pay, so this is Unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form; only the FAFSA is mentioned for federal/endowed aid, so the requirement for international students is unclear.
