Scholarship Competition
Your opportunity to compete for additional scholarships.
An invitation-only event for top admitted Full-Time MS candidates, our Scholarship Competition provides an opportunity to compete for scholarships beyond what is initially awarded at the time of admission. In fact, our largest merit awards, including full-tuition fellowships and named scholarships, are awarded through the competition. We encourage you to apply by January 5 to qualify for this exclusive opportunity.

After the Competition
The Admissions Committee typically makes decisions about scholarship increases, named scholarships, and full-tuition fellowships within the week after participation. These scholarship increases are awarded after reviewing results from discussions, a team case competition, your overall participation during the competition, and your previously submitted online application for admission.

Scholarship Weekend was where I met my future roommates, who remain two of my best friends. The opportunity to increase scholarship while connecting with other professionals with similar interests was invaluable to me. Attending Scholarship Weekend made me realize that Simon was the place for me.
