Scholarships

There is no separate application for scholarships; all applicants are considered at the time they are admitted to our program. Admitted student scholarships are awarded on a 3- or 4-year basis and may be maintained by achieving the ranking criteria associated with the specific scholarship awarded.

 

  • President's Scholarships - full tuition award
  • Dean's Scholarships - partial tuition award in varying amounts
  • Faculty Scholarships - partial tuition award in varying amounts
  • Diversity Scholarships - partial tuition award

Continuing student scholarships are awarded to students who did not originally receive scholarship at the time of an admit decision but who have distinguished themselves at the end of their first academic year. There is also the opportunity to receive an increased award after the first academic year for students with entering scholarship and who have distinguished themselves academically.
