Admissions Information

Does your school provide merit aid specially for undocumented students?

No. Undocumented students are eligible for the same offering of merit scholarships as all other students.

Are you need-blind for undocumented students?

We are need-aware for all students. We meet full demonstrated need with financial aid packages for any students who are admitted, including undocumented students.

Are undocumented students considered international or domestic?

Undocumented students will be technically classified as international in our process, particularly for need-based financial aid consideration. However, we understand and review the application in the context of an undocumented student growing up and living in the US.

What other piece of advice would you give an undocumented student hoping for admission at your school?

Taking advantage of an interview (in person or virtual) can be very helpful to your application. We are supportive of students from all backgrounds, and have advisors and a community that can support the needs of undocumented students on our campus.
