Some scholarships are department specific or have departmental deadlines. Check out the MBP Awards website for information on this.

Some guidelines:

  • You can only apply to these in your first 18 months as a student
  • Make sure to ask for recommendation letters a month earlier than you need them!
  • Keep in mind that you also should look into exactly what the different awards are looking for, and tell this information to your referees.


Awards to look into:
