Tuition & Financial Aid

Partial Tuition Scholarship – No Separate Application Necessary

We recognize that pursuing an advanced degree is a significant investment in both time and resources. In an effort to make our program more financially accessible, students accepted into the fall 2025 Master of Arts in Global Risk (online) program are now eligible for a partial tuition scholarship. This is our first time extending this opportunity.

Scholarship Details

• No extra materials are needed — just check a box on the program application to indicate you’d like to be considered.
