Undergraduate Scholarship Program
More than $450,000 in scholarship aid was awarded to Isenberg School students last year. The majority of these scholarships are generously funded by alumni, members of the Isenberg School community, and business friends.
How to Apply
Please review these directions before completing the application.
- Students use one common application for all Isenberg Scholarships. The application captures all necessary information that allows the scholarship committee to review each applicant for all Isenberg scholarships. The criteria for all scholarships varies. By submitting the application, students are then eligible for department awards. The scholarship committee will review each applicant and determine which student best meets the criteria for each scholarship.
- Prior to submitting the application students should complete the Scholarship Worksheet. This will allow students to review the necessary information to successfully submit the application. Please note that the application cannot be saved and must be completed in one session. Once students click submit a confirmation message will appear.
- There are several short answer questions with a 150 word maximum. Be sure to fully complete all sections of the application. Do not submit the application worksheet. The application must be submitted in its entirety to be considered for a scholarship.
- All Isenberg students are encouraged to apply. However, given the criteria of many of these scholarships, most are awarded to rising juniors and seniors.
The application deadline was Friday, December 2nd at 5:00pm. The Isenberg scholarship committee meets during the spring semester. Students will be notified of the decisions in April.
