Merit-Based Scholarships

Up to 35% of admitted Full-time students are awarded a merit-based scholarship. Awards range from partial to full tuition and fees. Priority consideration is given to applicants who submit a completed application for admission by the November 15th deadline. However, all full-time applicants (both domestic and international) are considered and reviewed for merit-based awards. No additional materials or separate applications are required to be considered. Scholarship recipients are notified at the time of admission and all scholarship decisions are final. Please note that with the exception of the Dean Scholarship, Military Veterans Scholarship, Faculty Scholarship and the Consortium Fellowship, the merit-based awards are non-renewable in their second year of study.

Fellowships with Partner Organizations

NYU Stern offers the following fellowships in partnership with external organizations:

Consortium Fellowship

Stern is a proud member of the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, an alliance of 17 top business schools working in partnership with corporate America to encourage diversity within management positions. The Consortium offers full-tuition and fees fellowships to full-time MBA students who demonstrate academic excellence and potential. The Consortium also conducts a summer orientation and manages an extensive alumni network.

Forté Foundation Scholarship

The Forté Foundation, a consortium of major corporations, top business schools, and influential non-profit organizations, offers scholarship opportunities to women who are pursuing an MBA at participating business schools. Exceptional women candidates who have been admitted to a participating school will be nominated for consideration for the Forté Foundation Scholarship by the school's Director of Admissions. No other application information is needed for the scholarship.

Toigo Fellowship

The Robert A. Toigo Foundation supports a comprehensive fellowship program for under-represented groups pursuing careers in finance. Students who have been accepted to MBA programs among leading business schools are eligible to apply before starting their program in the fall.

Westchester Scholarship

Beginning in January 2012, we are pleased to offer a merit scholarship to admitted students who enroll in the Langone Part-time Westchester program. The scholarship is in celebration of our new campus in Purchase, NY and will be offered to one student entering in the Spring term and one student entering in the Fall term. Each recipient will be awarded a total of $10,000 towards their tuition, split over their first two semesters (Fall start: Fall/Spring; Spring start: Spring/Summer). All applicants admitted to the Westchester program will be considered for the scholarship. Selected recipients will be notified at the time of admission. No separate application is necessary. In order to receive the scholarship, students must begin their program in Westchester and remain enrolled in Westchester for two consecutive semesters.

All admitted Executive MBA students receiving minimal or no financial sponsorship can be considered for a merit-based scholarship. To be considered for a merit-based scholarship, applicants must complete and submit the scholarship essay in the online formal application. Each applicant is eligible to receive a maximum of only one program scholarship. Scholarship recipients are notified at the time of admission and all scholarship decisions are final.
