Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearNo page says whether merit is considered automatically with the admission application or needs a separate application, so this cannot be concluded.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions consider international students' ability to pay (need-blind), so it is unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe application requires a Supplemental Financial Guarantee Form, but that is proof of funds for the I-20, not an aid application; CSS Profile is not mentioned, so it is unclear.
