Scholarships for College of Business students

Your future is worth investing in and we want to help make your business education more accessible. Each year, College of Business Administration students receive scholarship support from alumni, faculty, friends and industry partners who believe in their potential.

Scholarships support more than academics alone. Some recognize leadership, involvement or career goals, while others help support internships, study abroad experiences or students navigating financial need. Some awards are renewable, and a few even cover full tuition.

How Scholarship Universe works

Whether you’re already a CMU student or still exploring your options, Scholarship Universe helps you discover opportunities that match your experience and goals.

Scholarship Universe is CMU’s scholarship matching system. Instead of searching through dozens of separate applications, you complete one profile and get matched with scholarships you may qualify for.

Ready to get started? Follow these steps to see what you qualify for and apply.

  1. Log in with your CMU Global ID 
  2. Complete your scholarship profile 
  3. Answer every question thoroughly 
  4. Review your matches and apply 

The more complete your profile is, the more opportunities you may unlock. Leadership, work experience, involvement, family background and financial need can all help match you to additional scholarship opportunities.

Many scholarships are need-based, so completing your FAFSA is an important step in maximizing your opportunities.

Check Scholarships

You can still explore scholarship opportunities before applying to CMU.

Through Scholarship Universe, prospective students can:

  • Browse available CMU scholarships 
  • Learn about College of Business awards 
  • Explore external scholarship opportunities 
  • Start planning ahead financially 

Once you apply to CMU and receive your Global ID, you’ll be able to create a profile and apply for scholarships you qualify for.
