Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe international page says every admissions applicant who applies by the deadline is automatically considered, with no separate application, so merit review is automatic.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe provided pages say nothing about whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account, so there is no basis for a conclusion.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearInternational scholarships need no separate application, but the pages never mention a CSS Profile or an international aid form for need-based aid, so this stays unclear.
