Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesInternational students from non-U.S. secondary schools who complete the WLC application are automatically considered for the International Student Scholarship, with no separate application.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students ignore ability to pay, so this cannot be concluded.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form; the aid page only describes the FAFSA (for citizens/permanent residents), so it is unclear.
