Scholarship Aid
-
Fletcher scholarship aid is distributed on the basis of both a holistic review of your application and assessment of financial need. There are no awards made based on need alone or on merit alone. Need is assessed with the Fletcher Scholarship Application.
No distinction is made between domestic and international students in awarding scholarship funds. All applicants who complete the Fletcher Scholarship Application (included with the application for admission) are eligible for scholarship consideration. -
