Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe Admitted page says all admitted students automatically get a merit scholarship but does not mention international students. The International Award page does not say whether it is automatic, so it is uncertain.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNone of the provided pages say whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account, so no conclusion can be drawn.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page says a CSS Profile or a separate international aid form is required. The general aid page only mentions the FAFSA, which is for U.S. citizens, so the result is Unclear.
