Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe pages say eligible students are notified of academic scholarships within their admission offer, but that sentence does not mention international students. So automatic merit consideration for them is not confirmed.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe college says the Certification of Finances form does not affect the admissions decision, but the same form is used to prove funds for the I-20. The pages never use the term need-blind, so this is unclear.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearInternational students must submit the Certification of Finances form, but it is a proof-of-funds form and the pages do not call it an aid application. CSS Profile is not mentioned.
