• Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe scholarship page says admitted students are automatically considered for Nanook Pledge with no extra application, but it does not say whether this applies to international students, so it is unclear.
• Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions ignore international applicants' ability to pay; the ISSS page only states the visa requirement to show sufficient funds.
• Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages never mention a CSS Profile or a separate international aid form; they only mention the FAFSA, which is for U.S. citizens.
