The Fletcher School awards over $3 million dollars in scholarship aid annually. Scholarship decisions are made by the Committee on Admissions and Scholarships based on merit and need. Need is assessed with the Fletcher Scholarship Application (included with the application for admission) and is supplemented by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) analysis (U.S. and permanent residents only). Fletcher scholarship awards are announced by April 1. Scholarships are renewable for the second year of study unless otherwise noted.
All applicants who complete the Fletcher Scholarship Application by January 15 are eligible for scholarship aid consideration. No distinction is made between domestic and international students in awarding scholarship funds.
Emerging Markets Enterprise Scholarship
Fletcher is pleased to offer the Emerging Markets Enterprise Scholarship to MIB students who are committed to fostering the growth of enterprises based in or operating in the emerging markets. Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of their knowledge of, interest in, and dedication to emerging markets enterprise issues. Topics of interest include particular geographies (not only the most recognized markets such as China and India, but also additional markets such as Uruguay, South Africa, Egypt, Indonesia, etc.) as well as issues related to the successful growth of enterprise in those areas (e.g. governance structures, new market entry, infrastructure, and intellectual property). Scholarships recipients receive minimum half tuition scholarship and opportunities to participate in research with the Center for Emerging Market Enterprises.
Scholarship recipients need not be residents or citizens of an emerging market to be considered. Both international students and United States citizens are eligible. All students who submit the Fletcher Scholarship Application are considered for the scholarship and need not submit a separate application, though the applicant’s MIB essay should address his or her interest in this particular subject area, if applicable.
Schmidheiny Global Business Scholarship
Fletcher is pleased to offer the Schmidheiny Global Business Scholarship to MIB students who show leadership and promise in careers that involve the intersection of global issues and business practice. Fletcher is committed to supporting students whose interests lie in the increasing interactions between the public and private sectors, the impact of foreign policy on management decision-making and strategy, and the growing range of international affairs trends impacting business. All scholarship recipients receive a full tuition scholarship. This scholarship is offered through the generosity of Thomas Schmidheiny.
Both international students and United States citizens are eligible. All students who submit the Fletcher Scholarship Application are considered for the scholarship and need not submit a separate application, though the applicant’s MIB essay should address his or her interest in this particular subject area.
