The College of Business provides a merit-based scholarship to a number of outstanding newly-admitted students each year. Thus, the scholarship covers the cost of tuition at the in-state rate for the recipients’ 5th, 10th, and if applicable 15th 3-credit courses.

Therefore, recipients are chosen during the graduate admission process based primarily on previous GPA, GMAT/GRE scores, as well as work experience. However, there is no separate application process.

Hence, recipients are expected to complete at least five courses each year. Typically two in the fall term, two in the winter term, and one in a summer half-term.

This Scholarship is for students who do not qualify as residents of the State of Michigan. It covers 80% of the difference between the residential and non-residential graduate tuition rates. Also, this scholarship is renewable in subsequent terms and is up to the number of credits in the student’s degree program. Therefore, students must meet GPA, employment, and other criteria listed on the application form.

On this note, application deadlines are November 15, March 15, and July 15 for each subsequent term.
