Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe international students page says applicants are automatically considered for a merit scholarship during admission review, with no separate application.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe page only says admission decisions ignore family finances without naming international students, and proof of funding is also required, so it is unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages say nothing about a CSS Profile or a separate international aid form, only the FAFSA (for U.S. citizens), so this cannot be determined.
