International undergraduate applicants seeking CIM need-based aid must submit the CSS Profile by February 15. CIM scholarships consider merit and financial need, but the institute explicitly says it cannot guarantee to meet every student's need. A CIM scholarship may renew at the same dollar amount when academic/artistic progress and registration conditions are met. Newly admitted international students must still document their ability to pay the first year before confirming enrollment; do not treat aid consideration as a full-cost promise.
CIM explicitly makes SAT and ACT optional for undergraduate applicants. Scores are highly recommended for homeschooled applicants, but the school still calls its policy fully test-optional. Audition/prescreen requirements are separate and may be mandatory by instrument.
Applicants from countries where English is not an official language must submit an accepted English-proficiency exam score with the application by December 1. CIM's international page says exams older than two years are not accepted; TOEFL MyBest scores are not accepted. Applicants with at least three consecutive years at an English-speaking institution may request, but are not guaranteed, a waiver. The page includes a summer-English pathway for some admitted students; confirm current score thresholds directly rather than relying on its dated 2025 summer-program example.
The Fall 2027 application page lists a $125 non-refundable fee, rising to $175 starting December 2. Eligible first-time freshmen and undergraduate transfers can request a need-based waiver through the CIM portal/NACAC process; approval is not automatic. Other audition, credential-evaluation and travel costs are separate.
For Fall 2027 entry, the application and required prescreen video are due December 1, 2026. The site lists in-person auditions in February 2027 and an undergraduate response deadline of May 1, 2027. English scores for affected international applicants are due with the application by December 1; the separate CSS Profile deadline for need-based aid is February 15. Check instrument-specific audition details before travel.
