Tuition Waivers
Academic Talent Tuition Waivers
The University allocates funds to supplement tuition for graduate students.
Each semester a limited number of Academic Talent Tuition Waivers are awarded to domestic M.B.A. students. These awards cover all or part of the tuition, but students are responsible for fees.
Awards are based on an applicant's academic credentials at admission and academic record in the M.B.A. program. A gradepoint of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale for the last sixty hours of undergraduate coursework or a GMAT score of at least 550 is required for incoming students.
A cumulative graduate gradepoint of at least 3.5 is required for continuing MBA students. Applications are available at the M.B.A. office and are due approximately two months before the start of each semester.
Applications cannot currently be completed online since a signature is required.
