The BGE Dean’s Excellence Merit Scholarship is awarded to eligible master’s program applicants who demonstrate outstanding academic promise based on their verified undergraduate GPA (or MCAT score for SMP students). Dean’s Excellence Scholars receive a scholarship of up to $20,000 to apply toward their first-semester tuition costs.
There is no application for this scholarship; all program applicants will be considered. BGE staff review program applicants’ qualifications and award scholarships on a rolling basis to those who have been admitted to the program. Dean’s Excellence Scholars may also apply for our other BGE scholarships, but will not be eligible for any program-awarded scholarships. Please note that the offer of a scholarship cannot be deferred to a future semester.
