Department Scholarships

Because MBA students are not allowed to work during the first year of the program, MBA Program (department) scholarship money is awarded to first-year students. Criteria used to determine scholarship awards include GMAT, GPA, work experience, and special financial needs. Scholarship awards average $2,500 for the first year. Department scholarships are awarded after the admission process is complete and the entering class is confirmed.
