Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe scholarships page says merit awards need no separate application and all admitted freshmen who meet the deadline are considered, but it does not mention international students specifically, so this is not confirmed.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe provided pages do not say whether international admissions decisions consider ability to pay, so need-blind status cannot be determined.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe only form found is Warrington's Determination of Financial Need for college need-based awards (current students, not entering freshmen); no CSS Profile or university-wide international aid form is stated for freshmen.
