Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe college does not give scholarships to international students and no page describes automatic merit review, so there is no basis for a conclusion.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe provided pages say nothing about whether admissions for international students considers ability to pay, so no conclusion can be drawn.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form. The college offers no aid to international students, so there is no aid application process to describe.
