For International Students

Here’s an overview of what you need to know.

Aid for international students is limited and extremely competitive. Financial aid is awarded to those who show outstanding academic, extracurricular, and personal achievement.

Because we meet 100% of demonstrated need for admitted students, we typically only offer scholarships to two to five international students each year. Therefore, international students who are able to meet our costs should not apply for (or expect) any aid or scholarships.

Forms you must complete 

  • International Student Financial Aid Application (ISFAA)*
  • Certification of Finances (COF)*

The International Student Financial Aid Application (ISFAA) is required for international students applying for aid.

The Certification of Finances (COF) is required for all international students (with or without an aid application).

There is no need for you to submit the FAFSA or CSS Profile. These forms are for U.S. citizens and permanent residents only.
