Graduate Scholarships & Awards

All current and incoming Warnell students are eligible to apply for financial assistance. To be considered for a Warnell Scholarship, students must submit a resume or CV and a cover letter explaining their academic/career goals and their specific reasons for financial need (if applicable) by February 1st. Applications will then be forwarded to the Honors and Awards Committee, which is made up of several faculty members, staff, and students. The Committee will make selections, and then the chosen scholarship recipients will be notified and honored at our annual Spring Awards Banquet in April.
