Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe scholarships page says all first-year applicants are considered automatically with no separate application, but it does not mention international students; the international FAQ does not say 'automatic' for merit. So unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages say nothing about whether the college considers an international applicant's ability to pay when making admission decisions.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions the CSS Profile or a separate aid form for international students; only a general statement that merit scholarships need no separate application.
