    Editorial verification note

    International Academic Excellence section is explicitly automatic after admission, with no separate application or award cutoff. January 10 belongs to the separate Competitive Scholarships section. Current funding tiers and 20-per-country cap on the highest tier confirmed. All listed primary sources returned HTTP 200 during this check. Do not copy January 10 from separate Competitive Scholarships. Automatic does not eliminate GPA, English and admission requirements, nor highest-tier per-country cap. Cannot stack with SAT/ACT scholarship; highest-value eligible award applies. Official freshman FAQ does support February 1/Fall and October 1/Spring as visa-processing recommendations. They are removed from the award deadline field and are not scholarship cutoffs.
