Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe international page says all students are considered for merit by GPA at admission, and the acceptance letter states the award. But that sentence does not name international students, so it stays Unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether affordability is or is not considered when admitting international students. Only bank statements are requested after conditional acceptance, so no conclusion.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe only forms are the International Financial Certification Form and bank statements to prove funds at admission; no CSS Profile or separate aid application for international students is mentioned.
