Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe page says the International Admissions team assesses eligibility automatically when you apply for admission, with no separate scholarship application, so merit is considered automatically.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account, so need-blind status is unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe international merit scholarships need no separate application, but nothing is said about a CSS Profile or a need-based aid form for international students, so this stays Unclear.
