Merit Scholarship

All admitted students are reviewed for Merit Scholarship. No additional application is needed.

Merit Scholarship is awarded based on academic and personal credentials. This scholarship is awarded to students who we believe will enrich and add to the diversity and development of the class. Students will be notified if they have been chosen to receive a merit scholarship with their admissions acceptance letter. Please note that the Tepper School of Business does not offer need based scholarships.

MBA Dean's Scholarship

All admitted MBA Students are reviewed for the prestigious Dean's Scholarship. The Dean's Scholarship provides up to full tuition for students participating in the Full-Time MBA program.

The Dean’s Scholarship is inclusive of full tuition and university fees for both years of the MBA program and applies only if you matriculate in the year in which you are offered admission. Once you have accepted admission to the MBA Program, your scholarship will be credited to your student account in equal disbursements to the Fall and Spring terms of both years of the program. To maintain your scholarship eligibility in your second year, you will be required to achieve above-average academic performance (GPA of at least 7.0 “A-“ at the end of the first year), while maintaining a normal course load as a full-time student.

Please note that the Dean’s Scholarship replaces any MBA Merit Scholarship you may have received as part of your admission letter.
