Roughly 10-15% of students receive a full scholarship, covering tuition and offering a small to moderate stipend. Scholarships are awarded to candidates after a holistic assessment, including academic merit, extracurricular engagements, and financial need. The following admission scholarships are available especially for students in the international programs:
