How to Apply

Eligibility for partner scholarships is assessed as part of your admission application:

Review the eligibility requirements for your program of interest.
Review the eligibility requirements for your particular partner scholarship(s) (see organization links above).
Indicate your affiliation when prompted in the online application for your program.
Write and upload your scholarship statement as part of your online application.
Submit your application for admission by the next deadline.

Eligible Programs

Some of our online programs have a lower tuition rate than other programs—as students in these programs are already benefiting from the lower cost, partner scholarships are not available for following the programs:

Online MPA in Sustainability

Partner-affiliated applicants to these programs can still waive the application fee.

All other master’s programs are eligible for both partner scholarships and the application fee waiver.

Combining Scholarships

Applicants who qualify for multiple guaranteed scholarships are awarded the largest single scholarship or a combination of scholarships with a total combined value of up to 30 percent of tuition, whichever is larger. You may also receive preferential consideration for additional funding.

Benefits Honored Despite COVID-19 Disruptions

If you are affiliated with any of our other partner organizations or schools listed below, please know that we will still honor your guaranteed scholarships and other partner benefits even if your service, study, or activity has been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
