Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships may be available in each year, in the form of partial fee waivers. These are allocated on the basis of financial need and the quality of the substantive application. If you would like to be considered for financial assistance, please submit an additional one-page explanation of why this is required. Applicants are also encouraged to be creative in finding supporting funds from their home institution. Consider whether there are professional development, research support, or ad-hoc funds available to you.
