[kuwantfin]

Hello folks,
I would like to request your kind advice for scholarship options (for studying MFE in US) for international students (I am from India).

Thank you very much for your kind help.

MFEs are money making degrees for the universities.So its a bit naive to assume that there would some substantial scholarship available.Even if there would be some it would be very less in comparison to the actual fee of the degree.

Shantanu I am talking about scholarship options outside university. I know most of the MFE programs (except CMU) does not give scholarship

 

[Shantanu Kumar]

What do you mean by outside university? Company sponsored?

 

[kuwantfin]

could be anything....federal, state, private bodies

International students are illegible for most (all) public need-based assistant.
Merit-based fellowship/scholarship in the form of tuition reduction is offered by several MFE programs: UCLA MFE (starting next year), NYU-Poly FRE, Cornell FE, CGU MFE, IIT, MIT Mfin etc.

Given the high priced tuition, I'm not surprised if more programs use these form of fellowship to attract more applicants. Some programs provide up to 50% of tuition such as CGU. CMU MSCF provides up to 21K in tuition scholarship.

Thank you Andy. Are international students eligible for any government scholarships, if any?
