Scholarships
Selecting the right scholarship can be a daunting process. With countless options available, students often find themselves overwhelmed and confused. The decision can be especially stressful for those facing financial constraints or pursuing specific academic or career goals.
To help students navigate this challenging process, we recommend the following articles:
All applicants must submit a current resume, personal statement, one letter of professional recommendation, and unofficial academic transcripts. Students are encouraged to submit a valid GMAT or GRE score, but may also opt to submit a supplemental essay. Applicants who make it past the initial screening phase of admissions will be interviewed by admissions staff.
Yes, candidates seeking admission to multiple programs must apply and receive admission from each program and school separately.
No. We strongly prefer 2+ years of post-undergraduate, professional work experience prior to joining our full-time MBA program, however, we do not require it. We will consider strong internships and other experiences as part of the admissions review process.
