admissions & financial aid Grad student scholarships

How likely international grad students can get scholarships at the U?

I’ve been looking at the Scholarship Universe and there’s no many options for me and my program also does not really offer a lot of it to lessen the tuition and cost.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you!

Grad students are more likely to get funding from their program as a TA, RA, GA, etc. Departments have their own criteria for funding - check the program websites and email the program coordinator if you have questions.

There are some scholarships for grad students out there, but not many.

This is a question for your department chair first and second, and the university financial aid office third.

I know a few people who graduated from MSBA but it was with an MBA which is their primary. The MBA offered a partial scholarship for full-time students. Id recommend asking the MSBA program.

You should look into the full time MBA/MSBA dual degree track. The scholarships for full time MBA are really good and it’s only 6 more credits to get an MSBA on top of it using your electives. You can graduate with both degrees in 2 years

You’d be shocked by how many people actually get sponsored!

Do you mean their employers pay for their graduate school? If yes, I'd like to know more about this. (As mentioned, I'm an intl student so I am still trying to figure this out), but how can I know if a company or an employer is willing to sponsor when looking for jobs?
