Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe scholarships page says all full-time freshmen are automatically considered for merit, but it does not mention international students specifically, so it is unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages say nothing about whether admission decisions consider international students' ability to pay, so no conclusion can be drawn.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe international page requires a 'financial aid form' for eligibility but does not name the form or mention CSS Profile, so it is unclear.
