Full-Time MBA

Tuition & Funding

Fisher Scholarships: All Full-Time MBA applicants are considered for merit-based awards, ranging in value from $1,500 to the full cost of tuition. While some of these scholarships may require particular qualifications, such as prior academic performance or work experience, several scholarships are free of stipulations. These awards will be assigned based on a candidate’s potential to contribute to the classroom experience.

Just a few scholarship opportunities at Fisher:

• Exclusive academic awards and professional development grants
• Diversity scholarships (ROMBA, Prospanica, NBMBAA, Forté Fellow)

Cost of Living Scholarships: A limited number of incoming MBA candidates may be eligible to receive a cost of living scholarship to assist with the non-academic expenses you will incur as students in the MBA program. This scholarship counts as a financial resource but does not get applied towards tuition - it is paid directly to the student once tuition has been paid.

Fisher Fellows: A select number of highly qualified candidates will be identified as Fisher Fellows. Fellows are typically awarded a 50 percent tuition waiver and a monthly stipend during the academic school year, although extraordinary candidates may qualify for 100 percent tuition. Fellows are among the most competitive awards given to incoming MBA students and are therefore chosen carefully on the basis of outstanding academic, professional, and personal achievement, as well as potential for success in the MBA program.

University Fellowships: Students who have a minimum cumulative undergraduate grade point average of 3.6 (on a 4.0 scale) and score in the 75th percentile on the GMAT or GRE may be considered for nomination to the University Fellowship competition.

Graduate Enrichment Fellowships: U.S. citizens who can add to the diversity of the Graduate School (including, but not limited to ethnic background, social or economic disadvantage or disability), have a minimum cumulative undergraduate grade point average of 3.2 (on a 4.0 scale) and score in the 40th percentile on the GMAT or GRE may be considered for nomination to the Graduate Enrichment Fellowship competition.

Each year, we select two incoming international students to work as student ambassadors to the MBA program. Student ambassadors often serve as the first point of contact and are thought of as the face of the Fisher MBA program for prospective Fisher candidates. The role of the ambassador is to help prospective students navigate the admissions process and ease their transition to enrolling at Fisher.

This highly competitive award requires the following:

• Admission to the Full-Time MBA program
• Strong academic record
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to maintain a high level of integrity and confidentiality
• Demonstration of effective time management skills
• Service-oriented mentality
• Completion of a separate interview with the Director of Admissions

The Student Ambassador will work 10 hours per week in exchange for 50 percent tuition and fee waiver and monthly stipend of $715 during the academic year.
