Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe admission application is used to automatically determine merit eligibility with no separate application, and the international FAQ states this in its scholarship section.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages do not say whether admission decisions ignore international applicants' ability to pay. Only the I-20 financial verification is mentioned, which is not enough to conclude.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form. The only form is the I-20 financial-sponsor application, which is not an aid application.
