Scholarships for MBA Students

At Â鶹ÊÓƵ¾É°æ±¾, we automatically consider every MBA applicant for merit-based scholarships. We award MBA scholarships for the first year of study. Each scholarship is renewable for the same dollar amount for the second year of the MBA program.

For MBA/JD students, the College of Law and the MBA program award scholarships separately. MBA/JD students who receive scholarship assistance from the MBA program will receive the MBA scholarship only for the first academic year in which they are enrolled full-time in the MBA program.

We proudly invest in our students, which is why we offer scholarships tailored to different backgrounds and skill sets. We provide a top-tier education at an affordable price.
