Carlson Global Institute Graduate Fellowships

The Carlson Global Institute offers Fellowships for Carlson School graduate students participating on CGI sponsored programs.

***Military Scholarships are available through the MBA Office to Full-Time MBA students who are currently serving in, or are veterans of, the U.S. military and who will be pursuing a CGI sponsored Education Abroad program. For more information, review the Military Scholarship Application or contact Tracy Keeling at tkeeling@umn.edu. 

 

Eligibility and Award Criteria

Your essay and GPA will be reviewed to determine eligibility for a CGI Graduate Fellowship award. Preference will be given to students not receiving other study abroad scholarships through the MBA office or other financial assistance such as tuition waivers (But will not disqualify you!) 

Any students who are also University of Minnesota Full-Time Staff utilizing the Regents Tuition Benefit Program are NOT eligible to apply for this Fellowship. 

 

Global Enrichment Programs

  • Any Fellowship applications received after the deadline will not be reviewed.

 

Global Immersion Programs

  • The deadline for Graduate Fellowship applications for students participating on Global Immersion will be the deadline closest to when they submit their program application. Students can only submit once per program applied to.
