• Is merit considered automatically with the application?Yes14The International Academic Award is granted automatically upon admission based on a GPA of 3.0 or higher, with no separate application.
• Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages say nothing about whether admission decisions consider international students' ability to pay, so this cannot be concluded.
• 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 NMU Foundation scholarships have their own applications, so this is unclear.
