Northwestern Kellogg MBA Scholarships

Most Kellogg scholarships are merit-based and awarded automatically during the admissions process; no separate application is typically required, except for specific programs like the Finance Fellows. Scholarship decisions are based on a holistic review of the complete application for admission, including academic achievement, professional accomplishments, leadership potential, community involvement, and the interview component. Both merit-based and need-based financial aid are available. Admitted students are notified of scholarship awards at the time of admission or within a few weeks (for EMBA, no later than three weeks prior to Launch Week).

For Executive MBA scholarships, recipients must maintain good academic standing to remain eligible for continued funding. The McGowan Fellows Program provides full tuition for a student's second year of MBA study, implying continued academic excellence and public service commitment.
