Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe Excellence page says freshmen are considered automatically with no separate application. But that sentence doesn't mention international students, so it isn't confirmed for them.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe provided pages say nothing about whether admission decisions consider international students' ability to pay.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages don't mention CSS Profile or a separate international aid form. They only say the Excellence Scholarship needs no separate scholarship application.
