Online Master of Applied Business Analytics Scholarships
Scholarship Opportunities
The Carlson School of Management offers 15% merit-based scholarships and a more limited number of 50% merit-based scholarships for the online Master of Applied Business Analytics program. We award these scholarships on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to apply by the Round 1 or Round 2 application deadline to be considered for these opportunities.
Note that the online Master of Applied Business Analytics scholarships are not transferable to other degree programs. Additionally, they cannot be "stacked" with other scholarships or discounts.
How to Apply for a Scholarship
You'll need to write and submit an essay to be considered for one of the 15% or 50% merit-based scholarships for the online Master of Applied Business Analytics program. We award scholarships to a select number of admitted candidates who demonstrate potential as exemplary contributors to the Carlson School community and possess outstanding academic and professional achievements.
The scholarship essay is not required for admission to the online Master of Applied Business Analytics program or for candidates who are admitted and qualify for the 15% military or corporate discount. However, U.S. military service members, veterans, and corporate discount candidates interested in the 50% merit scholarship must submit the scholarship essay and two letters of recommendation with their applications. Rest assured that military service members, veterans, and corporate discount partner candidates not selected for a 50% merit scholarship will still receive a 15% tuition discount if admitted to the Master of Applied Business Analytics program.
When Scholarships Are Announced
We will notify students selected for scholarships at the time of admission to the online Master of Applied Business Analytics program. To learn more, contact us at mbaandms@umn.edu. You can also visit the Admissions Requirements page to review the materials to include with your application.
