Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearFreshmen are automatically considered for $10,000-$26,000 merit awards, but the page does not say this covers international students; Global Scholars needs a separate application. So Unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe provided pages say nothing about whether admission decisions for international students ignore ability to pay, so there is no basis for a conclusion.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages only mention FAFSA (for U.S. citizens) and say nothing about the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form, so this is unclear.
