Thanks to the generosity of our alumni, Booth awards a limited number of merit-based scholarships to Evening MBA and Weekend MBA admitted students. No additional application is required; scholarship decisions are based on your MBA application. Award amounts vary, and recipients are typically notified two to three weeks after being offered admission.
These fellowships are awarded each year to students who have exhibited exemplary academic, team, community, and/or creative leadership and are committed to advancing the interests of women in business. Awards amounts vary and winners are expected to participate in Forté Foundation and Admissions recruiting events.
These fellowships are awarded to incoming students currently in or pursuing a career in marketing who plan to concentrate in marketing management. The award includes mentorship from senior marketing executives. No additional application materials are required. See here for more details about the Fellowship.
Chicago Booth is delighted to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, an enhancement of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008, which allows institutions of higher learning in the United States to fund tuition expenses that exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition rate. Yellow Ribbon awards are not scholarships and are available to all veterans at Chicago Booth who qualify under the Veterans Affairs guidelines. The Yellow Ribbon awards are in addition to other VA programs. You can find the application through the University Registrar.
