Scholarship Deadlines
To be considered for merit-based scholarships, including the McCourt Scholar Award, applicants need to indicate on the online application that they wish to be considered for scholarships and apply for either the Early Decision or Priority deadline. Aside from the timing, there is no difference between the Early Decision and Priority deadlines.
Early Decision and Priority deadline applicants will also be informed of other fellowship and scholarship opportunities as they become available (a separate application may be required).
Final deadline applicants will receive merit-based scholarship consideration and be notified of other opportunities if such funding remains.
