Graduate students have the opportunity each year to apply for scholarships that complement their funding packages.
We award most scholarships through one general application, but a couple require a separate application.
Be sure to read your weekly Media School e-newsletter, The Buzz, so you don’t miss out on an opportunity. That’s where we'll announce applications and deadlines.
To be considered for the majority of scholarships, students complete one general online application annually. The application will be announced in the weekly student e-newsletter, The Buzz.
