Scholarships
In collaboration with corporations, foundations and associations, Columbia Business School offers partial-tuition scholarships to qualified candidates. Scholarships are mostly need-based and are awarded as part of an admitted student’s financial aid package. In addition, there are some named need-based scholarships that have a merit component.
Please view the Scholarship List for the named scholarships made possible by donors to Columbia Business School.
Details on applying for scholarships can be found on the Admitted Students Web site. Scholarship applications should not be submitted until admission to the MBA program. Scholarship applications and related materials are due by March 13 or three weeks from the date of admission, whichever is later. The date of admission is defined as the date on which the Admissions Office notifies the candidate via e-mail.
Since requests for financial aid are processed in the order in which they are received, admitted students planning to apply for need-based aid are urged to complete the required steps as quickly as possible.
Columbia Business School begins sending out financial aid packages in May, and the selection process continues throughout the summer.
To assess a student’s eligibility for need-based aid, the School takes into consideration all available resources (including cash, savings, investments, money market, IRA and 401(k) accounts, CDs, trust funds, real estate equity, G.I. and Social Security benefits, income of student and spouse and income tax refunds) as well as educational debt levels.
