Awards and Scholarships
The Alberta MBA program makes every effort to ensure that academically strong students and those in need receive financial support. Every year, a majority of full-time students admitted to the MBA program receive some form of financial support.
Unlike entrance awards, scholarships are usually awarded to students during the MBA program. The exact criteria for each scholarship are different, but scholarships are typically designed to recognize excellence both academically and outside of the classroom. For any scholarships that require an application, we will solicit applications directly from students.
