Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe Provost's Scholarship says no separate application is needed and qualified applicants are automatically considered; the Regional Award is also given automatically with the offer.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account, so need-blind status cannot be determined.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages never mention CSS Profile or a separate international aid form; the international scholarships are mostly automatic, with only the Honorary Scholarship needing an application.
