Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe international page says the admission application also serves as the scholarship application, so merit is considered automatically with no separate form (except performance awards).
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students ignore ability to pay, so this is Unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page says international students need the CSS Profile or a separate aid form; merit only needs the admission application, so there is not enough evidence to conclude.
