Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearUnclear: the page says complete applicants are considered and only an admission application is needed, but that wording doesn't name international students, so 'automatic' can't be confirmed.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearUnclear: the pages don't say whether admission decisions ignore an international applicant's ability to pay. They only require proof of funds for the I-20.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearUnclear: no page mentions the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form. The Certification of Finance form is for I-20 issuance, not for applying for aid.
