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.
