Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe passage says no separate application is needed beyond admission, but it does not mention international students; the international wording is in a different sentence, so it is not enough on its own.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages do not say whether admission decisions consider international students' ability to pay.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention no CSS Profile or separate international aid form; merit needs no extra application, but there is no information on need aid.
