Scholarships, Fellowships, and Sponsorships

SCHOLARSHIPS, FELLOWSHIPS, AND SPONSORSHIPS

Tuck scholarship awards are made possible through the generosity of Tuck alumni, corporations, and nonprofit foundations. There is no separate application process for Tuck scholarships. Tuck’s admissions and financial aid offices will review the application materials submitted by all candidates for admission. Tuck uses discretion in awarding scholarships to incoming students who will significantly contribute to Tuck’s distinctly immersive learning community. We offer scholarships to enroll outstanding students who, absent funding, might not attend the Tuck School. Tuck awards the majority of available scholarship for each round at the time of admission. Additional scholarship offers may be made at a later date as we build our best class. 

Tuck scholarships range from $10,000 to full tuition with the average being $32,002 per academic year.

Scholarships are automatically renewed in the second year, provided that a satisfactory academic record is maintained throughout the first year at Tuck. Students who receive a scholarship will be provided detailed information including name and donor after matriculation. These named scholarships replace the Tuck scholarship already received. All scholarship recipients will be required to write a letter of appreciation to the donor.

Consortium for Graduate Study in Management Fellowship

Tuck is a proud member of the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management (CGSM). The Consortium is a continually growing and evolving alliance of some of the world’s leading graduate business schools and business organizations. Applicants who are approved Consortium members and admitted to Tuck are Consortium Fellows. All are evaluated for a range of scholarship funding, up to full tuition.

Forté

Tuck is a proud member of Forté, a consortium of educational institutions, corporations, and nonprofit groups with a mission to launch women into fulfilling, significant careers through access to business education, professional development, and a community of successful women. Each year Tuck names several exceptional candidates who demonstrate a commitment to Forté’s mission as Forté Fellows. Fellows receive a Tuck scholarship in addition to the other Forté Fellow benefits as outlined on their website.

Reaching Out MBA (ROMBA)

Reaching Out is a nonprofit organization with over a dozen unique programs dedicated to educating, inspiring, and connecting the LGBTQ MBA community to impact change in the workplace and create the next generation of out leaders. Tuck participates in the ROMBA LGBTQ MBA Fellowship Program and each year names incoming students as ROMBA fellows who will receive a Tuck scholarship as well as access to special mentorship and leadership development programming through ROMBA.

Post-9/11 GI Bill® and Yellow Ribbon Program

The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides financial support for education to individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days, or received a Purple Heart. You must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The percent is based on creditable active-duty service. In addition to tuition and fees, the GI Bill provides a housing allowance and a book and supplies allowance. 

The Yellow Ribbon Program (YRP) is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. The program allows institutions to enter into a voluntary agreement with the VA to fund tuition and fee expenses that exceed the annual VA national maximum cap of $28,937.09 at private institutions for individuals who qualify for the 100 percent eligibility tier. The institution can contribute up to 50 percent of those expenses and VA will match the same amount as the institution. Tuck participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program (YRP) without limitation on the number of veterans enrolled and at a maximum level of $26,000 in funding which will cover full tuition for the 2024–25 academic year. We are proud to support our veterans.

Second Year Scholarship Opportunities

The Willard M. Bollenbach Jr. 1949 Fund

William G. McGowan Charitable Fund – McGowan Fellows Program

The McGowan Fellows Program provides one full year’s tuition to a selected McGowan fellow in their second year. The program provides support to one MBA student attending ten of the top MBA Programs nationally, including the Tuck School of Business. Eligible students must:

• Be smart, driven, and principled, with demonstrated leadership potential and dedication to the betterment of society.
• Have successfully completed the first year of their MBA program with an academic ranking in the top five percent of their class.
• Specific application requirements are available through the MBA Program Office.

Sponsorships

Some employers or organizations will offer sponsorships to help fund an MBA. While this can be a great way to minimize debt, we encourage students to review the terms and requirements carefully. If you choose not to return to your employer or follow through with the terms specified by the organization, you may have to reimburse the sponsor immediately. Financial aid is ineligible for prior year charges.
