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.
