The Genevieve Albers Graduate Fellowship provides financial assistance to graduate business students in exchange for assisting Albers faculty with their academic research. The fellow will receive a $15,000 tuition scholarship and $7,000 stipend in exchange for working 12.5 hrs/week for the three academic quarters (a total of 375 hours for the academic year).
The purpose of the fellowship is to provide financial assistance to our graduate students while at the same time enhancing faculty scholarship. The fellowship also honors the memory of Genevieve Albers, a long time and generous supporter of the Albers School.
The Fellowship will be competitive based on the qualifications of the applicant. Information to be considered will be the applicant’s undergraduate academic record, GMAT/GRE scores (optional, not required), professional experience, technology skills, quantitative skills, communication skills, critical thinking skills, and ability to work independently and take the initiative.
Applications will be due to Jeff Millard, Assistant Dean of Graduate Programs, by 11:59 p.m. on July 15, 2024 for the fellowship to be awarded for the 2024-25 academic year.
This Fellowship is open to applicants who are incoming students and to applicants who are already current students in a graduate program at Albers.
Fellowship recipients are selected based on a short essay and undergraduate performance (GPA). This Fellowship is offered to students taking 6 credits or more per quarter. Both incoming and continuing domestic or international students are eligible. Recipients will be notified in early September. The recipient will be selected by the Albers School Executive Committee (consisting of deans and department chairs).
