Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe sentence describes one specific award, not a school-wide rule; the Scientia scholarship still requires a separate application, so automatic merit consideration cannot be concluded in general.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages do not say whether admission decisions ignore international students' ability to pay, so no conclusion can be drawn.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention no CSS Profile or special aid form; international scholarships just use UNSW's own scholarships portal, so there is not enough evidence to answer.
