Graduate Scholarships

Collegewide Scholarships

Graduate students and new admits to any business graduate programs may qualify for one of the College of Business Graduate Scholarships. Each year the College of Business Scholarship Committee awards a number of scholarships to graduate business majors. Awards are made on an academic-year basis and cover the fall and spring semesters. To be eligible for an award, you must be a degree-seeking student in a master’s-level program in the College of Business and enrolled in no fewer than six credit hours*

All applicants to our graduate programs are considered for scholarships during the spring for awards that pay out the following fall and spring. Applicants are evaluated based on academic criteria and responses in the graduate application. Applicants who are interested in being considered for a College of Business Graduate Scholarship must apply to a graduate program no later than the priority deadline of January 15.

Scholarship awards are for the academic year and are distributed in two equal installments, one at the beginning of the fall semester and one at the beginning of the spring semester.

In addition to graduate scholarships offered by the College of Business, the FSU Graduate School has an online fellowship application system for the many awards it offers at the university level. For more information, please visit the graduate school’s website.
