The majority of Stern MBA scholarships are full or half tuition awards. All candidates (domestic and international) are eligible. No additional documents are needed. Scholarship declarations are made at the time of admission and are final. Please note that scholarship grant amounts and types may alter year to year. If you are an accepted student who has been granted a merit-based scholarship, please go through the scholarship details in your official admissions letter.

Johnson has over $14 million in scholarship funds to award each year to its new students. They provide partial scholarships to a substantial percentage of their students. Merit-based scholarships are awarded regardless of citizenship. If a student is chosen to receive a scholarship it will be included in their admission decision notification. Over 35% of Johnson students receive scholarship aid. Merit Scholarship beneficiaries are selected by an Admissions Scholarship Committee. The same standards are used to define merit as are used to assess applicants for admission: proved leadership and interpersonal skills, previous academic performance, exam scores, the scope and depth of work experience, writing skills, interpersonal skills, extracurricular and community engagement, references, past accomplishments, focus, and goals.
