TCU's international aid page explains need-aware admission for international applicants seeking aid and requires the CSS Profile for need-based consideration.
ACP Local Insight
TCU is in Fort Worth. Students should evaluate access to campus, housing and Fort Worth transportation separately from Dallas-area schools because DFW is a large metroplex.
