Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe scholarship page says all new students are considered automatically, but it only says 'all students' without mentioning international students, so it is not enough for a Yes.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages do not say whether international admission decisions take ability to pay into account, so this cannot be determined.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form. The financial statement form is for I-20 proof of funds, not an aid application.
