How do I apply for merit based scholarships?
Scholarships from Taubman College are awarded based on merit. All applicants are automatically considered for the two merit based scholarships that are available. If you receive a scholarship, you will be notified of the scholarship award in your letter of admission. Because financial resources are limited, we would encourage all applicants to seek out other sources of funding as well. Please apply for any scholarship, fellowship, and grants that you are eligible for to increase your chances of receiving an award. |
