Heinz College Scholarships
A separate application is not necessary for consideration for the following Heinz College scholarships. MSIT 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.
MSIT Merit-Based Scholarships
These scholarships are awarded to exceptional students joining the MSIT program based on the strength of their Application for Admission and demonstrated potential for advancing in their careers. Students who indicate interest in receiving financial aid on their Application for Admission are considered. A separate application is not required.
Government and Non-Profit Scholarships
Students employed by U.S. federal, state, or local government or a non-profit organization are eligible to receive a scholarship equal to 25% of tuition costs.
