Albers School of Business and Economics MBA SEM Tuition and Financial Aid

MBA in Sport & Entertainment Management Scholarships

MBA SEM Albers DEI Scholarship

We are excited to announce that Albers School of Business and Economics will offer four half-tuition scholarships for students enrolled full-time in the MBA in Sport and Entertainment Management program. These scholarships are aimed at improving the diversity of our program by assisting those who demonstrate significant financial need. Elements of diversity include, but are not limited to, those who are first in their family to attend college; those who have overcome substantial educational or economic obstacles; or those who have experienced living or working in diverse environments.

To apply for this scholarship, you need to have already submitted a completed application to the MBA SEM Program. Once that is complete, please submit an essay addressed to the MBA SEM Scholarship Committee at mbasem@seattleu.edu that addresses the following three questions:

1. How have you overcome substantial educational or economic obstacles,
2. What are the unique talents, skills, and perspectives you would bring to the cohort?
3. What does diversity and inclusion mean to you?

Your essay should be 1200-1600 words and submitted as either a PDF or Word document. Please include your name and email in the body of the essay. Deadline to apply is April 10. Decisions made on or before May 1.

Once awards have been determined, the Office of the Dean will have the responsibility of notifying the Office of Financial Services of the awards and the Dean will send a letter of notification to the students.

MBA SEM Scholarship

MBA SEM offers one-year scholarships based on financial need, current and/or prospective academic achievement. All scholarships are financial resources and must be coordinated with other types of financial aid. You must notify the Financial Aid office of any scholarships you receive which do not appear on your original award letter and report whether the scholarships are renewable, so the office can automatically include it with your subsequent awards. Scholarships are awarded at the time of admission, and credited each quarter of your first academic year directly to your student account.

Eligibility

To be considered for a scholarship, you must be fully admitted (without restrictions) to the MBA SEM degree program and maintain a minimum of six (6) credits of coursework each quarter during the academic year.

Should your enrollment drop below these requirements, the scholarship will be reduced by a percent equal to the reduction in credits, charged against your student account, and any balance owed to the university will be your responsibility. In every instance, it is your responsibility to pay tuition no later than the published quarterly tuition due dates established by Seattle University.
You must maintain a 3.0 grade-point average in your graduate coursework to receive and/or retain a scholarship.

Criteria

For applications based on financial or merit need, file the online version of the FAFSA (for U.S. citizens) or the Affidavit of Financial Support (for foreign residents).
