Funding

Clarkson’s scholarships are primarily merit based. You are automatically applied for all scholarships when you apply to the program. Merit is primarily based on GMAT, or equivalent scores, and undergraduate GPA, but all aspects of your application are considered. Students who qualify to waive the GMAT will still be considered for scholarships, but typically receive the Fellowship level award.Scholarships require you to maintain a 3.0 graduate GPA. If you have access to an employer benefit plan, you must choose either it or a merit scholarship, not both.

Awards are granted based on a percent of your program’s total cost, and range from 15% to 75%. Award amounts can change with actual courses taken. The standard award levels are as follows:

Fellowship (3.3 GPA, 550 GMAT) – at least 15%

Dean's (3.5 GPA, 600 GMAT) – at least 25%

Presidential (3.7 GPA, 650 GMAT) – at least 40%

Trustees (3.9 GPA, 700 GMAT) – at least 75%

Clarkson also offers an Early Decision Award for residential business programs. Committing to a cohort-based residential program by March 1st of the year you intend to join the program will grant you an additional scholarship based on your merit scholarship achievement. These awards vary from an additional $3,000–$9,000 as follows:$3,000 Fellowship Level$5,000 Dean’s Level$7,000 Presidential Level$9,000 Trustees Level
