Thinking about finishing your grad application? Now’s the time, because the University of Delaware’s Lerner College of Business and Economics is offering three new scholarships for the 2025-2026 academic year designed to make graduate school more affordable and accessible.
Whether you’re a current Blue Hen, a UD alum, or navigating a career change, there’s a scholarship tailored to help you move forward:
- UD Alumni Support Scholarship: Returning to UD for graduate study? All alumni applying for the 2025-2026 academic year are eligible for a 20% tuition reduction and a waived $75 application fee.
- UD Student Support Scholarship: Current UD juniors, seniors and 2025 grads can keep their momentum going with a 20% tuition scholarship for any Lerner graduate program—including accelerated 4+1 options.
- Economic Hardship Scholarship: If you’ve experienced job loss or financial difficulty in 2024 or 2025, you may qualify for this targeted scholarship—offering 20% off tuition and no application fee.
These awards apply across all Lerner graduate programs—MBA, specialized master’s degrees and stackable certificates—and across all formats: full-time, part-time, online or hybrid. No additional scholarship application is required, and most programs do not require GMAT or GRE scores.
“At Lerner, we want to meet students where they are,” said Dean Oliver Yao. “These scholarships are part of our commitment to supporting diverse learners through every life stage.”
