Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page says freshman applications are reviewed for academic scholarships, but it does not say this applies to international students or that it is automatic for them, so it is unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages say nothing about whether admission decisions for international students consider ability to pay, so no conclusion can be drawn.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention neither the CSS Profile nor a separate aid form for international students, so it is unclear whether one is required.
