Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page says admission applicants are automatically considered for admission-based scholarships, but that sentence does not mention international students. Only the table column suggests they are included, which is not conclusive.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe provided pages say nothing about whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions the CSS Profile or a separate aid form for international students. The only application is the UNC Scholarship Application for donor-funded awards, which is not a need-based aid form.
