Heinz College Scholarships

 

A separate application is not necessary for consideration for the following Heinz College scholarships. MEIM students who indicate in the application for admission that they want to be considered for financial aid are automatically considered for any applicable scholarship opportunities.

Students who are eligible for more than one scholarship from Heinz College may not be entitled to the minimum award for the second scholarship.

MEIM Scholarships

These merit-based scholarships are awarded to exceptional students joining the MEIM program.

Regional Leaders Scholarships

Heinz College offers a limited number of Regional Leaders Scholarships to incoming full- and part-time students who have demonstrated a commitment to the Pittsburgh community. Applicants interested in the Regional Leaders Scholarships are required to have one of their three letters of recommendation written by someone who can testify to the applicant's commitment to and impact on the Pittsburgh community.

Yellow Ribbon

Heinz College recognizes the contributions made by members of the US Armed Forces and is proud to participate in the Yellow Ribbon program for eligible post-9/11 veterans.  If you are eligible for VA payment of 100% of the highest in-state tuition plus 50% of the gap through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Heinz College pays the remaining 50% of the gap through Heinz matching funds up to $8,200 per year, for your tuition and fees. Students who are eligible for full funding under the Yellow Ribbon Program are eligible for other additional Heinz College scholarships ONLY when the remaining gap exceeds $8,200. Most students who are eligible for 100% benefits under the Yellow Ribbon program receive full funding of tuition and fees through the Yellow Ribbon partnership with Heinz College.
