Do schools reject you if you can't pay for it?

International students are required by most institutions to submit the ISCF (International Students Certificate of Finances). Its main objective is to determine whether the student can afford the whole 4 years’ tuition/fees.
But some of them offer generous merit scholarships (to international students) that can significantly reduce the tuition. There are many schools that I can’t afford their “sticker price” but can afford if I get one of their merit scholarships.
In such cases, will I be outright rejected if my ISCF indicates that I can’t afford the tuition/fees?
