Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearAcademic scholarships are considered automatically, but the page does not say this covers international students; the international award needs a complete application and a financial support statement, so unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages say nothing about whether admission decisions ignore international applicants' ability to pay, so this is Unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention neither CSS Profile nor a separate international aid form; only a statement of financial support is required for the international scholarship, so unclear.
