Scholarships 

International students do not need to submit a financial aid application in order to be considered for scholarships. These awards are made at the time of admission.

There is no separate financial aid application process required for international students. International students are eligible for consideration for any scholarship, specific to their program of study, unless the scholarship description specifically states otherwise. Students are awarded scholarships as part of the admissions process and are notified of the scholarship amount, if any, in the letter of admission. Students are not reconsidered for additional financial aid after the original scholarship has been awarded.

International students are required to submit other forms as required by the Carnegie Mellon University Office of International Education (OIE).
