Candidates must apply by the early application deadline so that a final admissions decision can be reached before the February 15 deadline for fellowship consideration. Outstanding minority students admitted after that date will be nominated to receive scholarship funds that remain undistributed. These fellowships are restricted to outstanding Ph.D. candidates. The Florida MBA programs offer one of the most affordable graduate management programs in the country, even for non-Florida residents. A limited number of scholarships are awarded to top candidates.
Selection is based on superior academic ability, professional achievement, and leadership potential.
MBA candidates who submit their application for admission by March 15 are automatically considered for the following merit-based awards. The Fisher School of Accounting administers a number of awards and fellowships each year and nominates students for a variety of externally administered awards. The fellowships are generally awarded to students who intend to enter or who have already entered the master's program. The amounts, number, and source of awards vary from year to year. Academic performance, particularly in upper-division accounting coursework, is emphasized in selecting recipients.
