Fellowships & Financial Aid

Graduate Student Fellowships

The Elliott School offers a number of highly competitive merit-based tuition awards, mostly to entering, full-time Master of Arts and Master of International Policy and Practice (MIPP) candidates. All applications received by January 15 for the following fall semester will automatically receive fellowship consideration. Please note that merit-based fellowships are not available to those applying for spring admission.

Factors considered in the fellowship selection process include:

• academic achievement
• scores on the Graduate Record Examination
• work experience
• language skills
• preparation in relevant areas
• academic interests
• a demonstrated ability to excel in a rigorous graduate program

The Elliott School does not sponsor assistantships.
