Graduate Financial Aid

Emerson College awards fellowships and scholarships to applicants who are exceptionally well-qualified for graduate study based upon their comprehensive academic credentials, including professional promise and past academic excellence. We offer half- and full-tuition fellowships, as well as a limited number of additional merit scholarships.

Each program’s faculty review committee selects the recipients. No fellowship or scholarship will be awarded for a value that is higher than the cost of tuition.

All applicants who complete their admission application by the deadline will be automatically reviewed for consideration. There is no additional paperwork to complete.

The Office of Graduate Admission awards additional scholarships each year to new student applicants. All applicants are automatically considered for a scholarship upon applying regardless of deadline. There is no additional paperwork to fill out. No scholarship will be awarded for a value that is higher than the cost of tuition. Students are notified if they are awarded a scholarship when admitted to Emerson.

The Encore Scholarship demonstrates Emerson’s commitment to helping our undergraduate and graduate alumni stay competitive in the job market. Qualified alumni of Emerson College are encouraged to contact the Office of Graduate Admission for additional information.
