Scholarships and Financial Aid
The MS Financial Engineering Program is a non-thesis, Professional Graduate Program which does not offer funding or assistantships to admitted students. It is not a research-based program and therefore, tuition-waivering assistantship opportunities are not available.
Scholarship Opportunities
All Admitted Students:
- All admitted students are evaluated for a merit-based scholarship based on previous educational performance. Students selected for a merit-based admission scholarship will be notified in their admission letter.
- The amount of the scholarship awarded will vary.
- No additional application is needed.
MSFE Academic Excellence Award Scholarship for enrolled students:
- A limited number of scholarships will be awarded to current students based on exceptional performance after the first year in the program.
- Students must have at least a 3.75 GPA to be eligible.
