The Boston University School of Management
Offers a variety of merit scholarship programs for qualified full-time students. Applicants are notified of these opportunities in their initial offers of admission. A separate application for scholarship consideration is not needed, and the Admission Committee considers all admitted candidates for merit scholarship awards. The first two are merit-based awards meaning we focus on qualitative aspects along with their potential to demonstrate leadership ability. We're looking for people who are going to be active members of the community, who will continue to be strong contributors long after they graduate. It's a lifelong relationship after all. As many of the Dean's Scholars cover full tuition, demonstrated leadership is one of the few ways one would earn that honor.
