Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe university automatically considers you for international scholarships based on your previous grades when you apply for admission, with no separate scholarship application.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages say nothing about whether international admissions decisions take ability to pay into account, so need-blind status cannot be determined.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention no CSS Profile or separate international aid form; the merit scholarships need only the admission application, so there is no basis for a conclusion.
