Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page says scholarships need a separate application, but it is a student ambassador blog post, not an official statement on automatic consideration, so it is not enough to conclude.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students ignore ability to pay; the pages only require proof of funds for the visa, so Unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention neither CSS Profile nor a separate international need-aid form; the only form is the financial-support form for visas, not an aid application, so Unclear.
