When do CWRU merit scholarships open. Does applying ED improve chances. Does ED 2 provide the same chances. So they also provide good need based aid for international students.
From the Case website…
Take that for what it says. Need based aid for international students is limited.
Hmm ok. Do you know anything about the other queries
At CWRU, international students qualify for merit, and its generous. A 2/3 merit award is normal for a top student, international or US citizen. Aid is not going to be as generous as a very top aid school, such as Vanderbilt. You will pay about $35K to go to Case, if you can win the top awards. There are very few full rides at Case.
You will win the same merit at Case no matter how you apply, as its based on GPA, SAT subject exams, SAT/ACT scores, and ECs. However, getting accepted is now hard to binding programs will give you a very good advantage. How sure are you that you want to live in Cleveland for four years and how sure are you that Case is your best fit program? Also, your major, gender, and what country you are from may influence your ability to get accepted. So nursing is way easier to get into, than Computer science, but Case is a totally open major school, so even CS majors can change to nursing or physics, readily for almost two years. Case is a combination of a liberal arts college, with very good accounting program, engineering program and nursing programs. Western Reserve College was a liberal arts college, and it only merged with CIT in 1967, so a lot of the liberal arts flavor to this school remains. For instance, every freshman reads a book before freshman year. They ask all freshman to do a service project, and every freshman will visit Cleveland Art Museum to pass several seminar style classes that are required, regardless of your major. You will take three writing classes to earn any CWRU degree. And you cannot place out of those, no matter your AP/IB credits.
Merit scholarships at Case do not open on a certain date. They are available to every single applicant. The scholarships do not require anything extra, just the Common application, good grades, test scores, and you have to be a fit to Case, so interested in something they teach there.
There are named scholarships and some require essays. Those are ridiculously hard to win, so don’t dwell on winning a full ride, but try! There are also music, acting and dance scholarships, and a few full rides for very talented students, but those will require the student to fly to Cleveland, and audition.
