Scholarships – MS in Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Cohort

Scholarships Available for Cohort Students

Scholarships are available for high-achieving students. We offer the Dean’s Excellence New Student Cohort Scholarship to high-achieving new MS BA Cohort students admitted for the Fall and Spring semesters. MS BA Cohort students who have completed two semesters may also apply for the Dean’s Excellence Continuing Student Cohort Scholarship.

Dean’s Excellence New Student Cohort Scholarship

We offer the Dean’s Excellence New Student Cohort Scholarship to high-achieving students admitted for the Fall and Spring semesters. Each admitted student is automatically sent for an evaluation by the Scholarship Committee. No separate scholarship application is required; however, we must have a completed application file, including official GRE/GMAT test scores, prior transcripts, resume and reference letter(s), as scholarships are awarded based on a holistic review of all submitted application materials.

The scholarship will consist of $15,000 awarded over two consecutive semesters. Scholarship awards will be applied toward tuition expenses – $7,500 over each of the first two semesters of enrollment.

Dean’s Excellence Continuing Student Cohort Scholarship

The Dean’s Excellence Continuing Student Cohort Scholarship will consist of $5,000 awarded over two consecutive semesters – Fall and Spring of the student’s second year in the program. Scholarship awards will be applied toward Cohort tuition expenses – $2,500 over each of the next two semesters of enrollment.

Current MS BA Cohort students may apply for scholarships for the Fall semester only. The results for the Dean’s Excellence Continuing Student Cohort Scholarships for current students will be announced by late August. Students may not receive both scholarships simultaneously.
