Scholarships, Fellowships, and Sponsorships

Tuck’s vibrant community thrives on diverse experiences and perspectives. Scholarships, fellowships and sponsorships help ensure that talented students from all backgrounds can join and contribute to the Tuck community.

• Scholarships

  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 review the application materials submitted by all candidates for admission. Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the school to incoming students who demonstrate exceptional accomplishments and the potential to make meaningful contributions to Tuck’s distinctly immersive learning community. The majority of available scholarships are awarded at the time of admission, with additional offers made as we continue to shape the strongest possible class.

  Tuck scholarships range from $10,000 to full tuition with the average being $34,679 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.

  Second Year Scholarship Opportunities 

  The Willard M. Bollenbach Jr. 1949 Fund 

  Two recipients will receive a scholarship award through the Bollenbach Fund. The awards will be given to two second-year Tuck students of superior intellectual capacity and academic achievement, and who show overall promise as a business leader. The specific criteria are: 

  • The student is in the top ten percent of the class at the end of the first year. 
  • One will be awarded on merit alone and one must also demonstrate financial need. 
  • The amount, when combined with any other scholarship, fellowship, grant or sponsorship, will not exceed the amount of tuition. 
  • Specific application requirements are available through the Financial Aid Office. 

  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.

• Fellowships

  The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management

  The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management's mission is to expand access and increase representation in business education and leadership. Applicants who apply to Tuck through the Consortium, are approved as Consortium members, and are admitted to Tuck become Consortium Fellows regardless of funding. Fellows are considered for a Tuck scholarship and receive career, professional, and leadership development benefits through The Consortium. There is also a Consortium member referral process for admitted students who apply directly to Tuck.

  Forté

  Forté's mission is to launch women into fulfilling, significant careers through access to business education, opportunities, and a community of successful women. Tuck designates incoming students who demonstrate a commitment to Forté’s mission and have been selected to receive a Tuck scholarship as Forté Fellows. Fellows will receive access to career, professional, and leadership development benefits through Forté. To be considered for a Tuck Forté Fellowship, you must complete the optional fellowship section within the Tuck application.

  Reaching Out MBA (ROMBA)

  Reaching Out MBA's mission is to increase the influence of the LGBTQ+ community in business by educating, inspiring, and connecting MBA students and alumni. Tuck designates incoming students who demonstrate a commitment to ROMBA’s mission and have been selected to receive a Tuck scholarship as ROMBA Fellows. Fellows will receive access to career, professional, and leadership development benefits through ROMBA. To be considered for a Tuck ROMBA Fellowship, you must complete the optional fellowship section within the Tuck application.

• Sponsorships

  Some employers or organizations may offer sponsorships to help support your MBA, which can be a wonderful way to reduce debt. We encourage students to carefully review the terms and requirements, as not meeting them—such as not returning to your employer—may require repayment. Please also note that financial aid cannot be applied to charges from previous years.
