The Simon School of Business offers more scholarships

The Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester is expanding its scholarship opportunities for undergraduate students and alumni at more than 30 partner colleges and universities nationwide, including Allegheny College.

The merit-based Partner School Scholarships have been increased from the previous $5,000 per year to $10,000 per year for qualified students. Applicants may now elect to pursue graduate business studies at the Simon School at any time, instead of the previous requirement to enter immediately upon graduation. Applicants must be graduates of one of Simon’s partner schools and meet standard Simon School admissions criteria. The next application deadline for this coming academic year is March 15, 2010.

“Our partnerships with more than 30 distinguished colleges and universities around the country have been a win-win situation for Simon and for our partner schools,” says Dean Mark Zupan. “We are seeking the best and brightest students, and this partnership has proven to be a wonderful feeder into our programs. We are pleased to be able to expand it, and grateful to our partner schools for their participation and support.”
