SCHOLARSHIPS
Full-Time MBA Students
You are considered for scholarships when you apply to the Full-Time MBA Program, and you are notified of any award when you are admitted. This applies to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and international students.
- No separate application is required.
- Awards are based on academic ability, professional and personal achievements, and potential to contribute to our community.
- Scholarships range from $5,000 to full tuition.
The Ross Financial Aid office also posts various specific scholarship opportunities throughout the year. Many of the scholarships are need based. Ross MBA students (U.S. citizens and permanent residents) are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov to be considered for all scholarships. Target email notifications will be sent to students when scholarship opportunities are available.
In addition to these general scholarships, Ross also offers scholarships for admitted students interested in specific areas:

- No separate application is required (although you must be admitted to the program).
- All students are considered.
- Award recipients are notified of selection after admission to the program.
