Fellowship Consideration

As an applicant to the FEMBA Program, you are automatically considered for a merit-based fellowship. Fellowships are based solely on academic performance and business experience and not on need. The Admissions Committee takes the following into consideration when making award determinations:
  • Academic performance. Your GMAT score and undergraduate performance are strongly taken into consideration, as well as any additional academic certifications, or advanced degrees (MA, MS, JD, etc.)   
  • Professional work experience. Your career history should show a pattern of continuous advancement and significant contributions to your workplace.
  • Committee evaluation. The Admissions Committee performs a qualitative evaluation of each FEMBA candidate, based on your interview for the program.
