How To Get It

Scholarships are funds that do not have to be repaid. Schools themselves may award scholarships to graduate business students. Schools award scholarships on the basis of test scores, grades, life experience, financial need, and any number of other factors

In addition to covering tuition, fees, and supplies, awards may include stipends for living expenses. To learn more about the scholarships offered by the school(s) you are interested in, as well as the criteria used to award them, contact the admissions staff directly.
