Scholarship awards in the CBS MBA Scholarships are mostly need-based, however, certain named scholarships have a merit component. Scholarships are invited from both domestic and international students, and awarded for both the August-entry and the January-entry groups.
Details on applying for scholarships are available after admission. The date of admission is defined as the date on which the Admissions Office notifies the candidate via e-mail.
Eligibility
To assess a student's eligibility for need-based aid, the School takes into consideration all possible resources (including cash, savings, investments, money market, IRA and 401(k) accounts, CDs, trust funds, real estate equity, GI and Social Security benefits, income of student and spouse, and income tax refunds), sponsorships from companies, as well as prior educational debt levels.
The School also takes into account merit-based awards made possible by the Admissions office.
Additional information might be requested to best assess a candidate's ability to pay and late applications are subject to a different process.
