Scholarships

Berkeley Haas offers MBA scholarships to entering students in the form of both need- and merit-based awards. 

All prospective students will be evaluated for fellowships and scholarship funding. Unless otherwise noted in the scholarship section of the online application, applicants do not need to submit additional information to be considered for a scholarship or fellowship. Funding will be awarded to students at the time of admission based on the strength of the student's application. 

Additional awards are also available to continuing students for their second year of study.

Supported in part by the generosity of our donors, students in recent years have been identified as scholarship recipients of the various opportunities listed below. Please note that meeting the stated criteria does not mean you’re guaranteed funds; rather, it means you are eligible for consideration.
