Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThis sentence comes from the Florida-resident merit section and does not mention international students, so it cannot be applied to them.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages provided say nothing about whether admission of international applicants ignores ability to pay, so this cannot be determined.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention no CSS Profile or international aid form for freshmen; the only separate application is for the Non-Florida Tuition Waiver, open to students who have completed a year at UNF.
