Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe pages provided do not say whether merit is considered automatically with the admission application or needs a separate form; they only say awards are based on GPA. So it is Unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions consider an international applicant's ability to pay. The financial-resources form is only for issuing the I-20 and F-1 visa.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?YesThe FAQ says admitted international students apply for financial aid using the CollegeBoard CSS Profile, so the CSS Profile is the route to apply for aid. Merit awards are based on GPA only.
