Scholarships

Graduate scholarships

Scholarships can significantly reduce the cost of tuition, fees, and other expenses, helping to make your graduate school dream a reality. As aid in the form of a gift, the funds do not need to be repaid.

You can also find other aid options, such as grants, fellowships, and assistantships, designed to support your learning and research. Explore our graduate student scholarships to learn more about eligibility requirements and how to apply.

Merit scholarships by college

In addition to general graduate scholarships, you may be considered for merit-based scholarships through your chosen college. To be considered for these awards, you must submit your application for admission by the application deadline.

• Bouvé College of Health Sciences
• College of Arts, Media and Design
• College of Engineering
• College of Professional Studies
• College of Science
• College of Social Sciences and Humanities
• D’Amore-McKim School of Business
• Khoury College of Computer Sciences
• School of Law

Please note that scholarship eligibility criteria may vary depending on the scholarship and the program or college, and awards are managed by individual academic departments—not the Office of Student Financial Services. If you have questions regarding merit-based scholarships for graduate programs, please contact the department, college, or school to which you are applying or are currently enrolled.
