Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearScholarships are awarded after the application is submitted, but the pages do not say whether merit is automatic or needs a separate form, and some merit goes through the CSS Profile, so Unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages say nothing about whether admission ignores international applicants' ability to pay; they actually require proof of funds, so Unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?YesThe FAQ states that international/non-US citizens submit the CSS Profile to apply for aid, and the international page also lists completing the CSS Profile after admission.
