Awards & Scholarships
Scholarships
The Zell Lurie Institute scholarship program was established
in 2003 to reward and encourage the participation, academic
performance, and entrepreneurial potential of MBAs at the Ross
School of Business. Students are awarded for exemplary academic
standing, strong entrepreneurial knowledge and interests, and
engagement with courses, programs, and leadership at the University
of Michigan. All scholarships are provided through generous
support from Samuel Zell and Mitchell Mondry.
Returning student scholarships are available for returning MBA
students (or evening MBA students with at least 30 completed
credits) worth a maximum of $5,000 toward second-year tuition
and fees. Eligible students will have achieved a meritorious
GPA (a student with more "passes" than "excellents"
will probably not qualify) and will have demonstrated proven
entrepreneurial interest in their application. The scholarship
may impact financial aid awards and the Ross Financial Aid Office
should be contacted for details. Applications for scholarships
will be requested in the summer. Recipients will be announced
at the annual Entrepalooza symposium and all scholarship recipients are expected to appear
at the Institute advisory board meeting for introduction.
The deadline for applying for the 2011/2012 scholarships is Friday, July 29, 2011. This year's application can be found here.
