FLEX MBA Scholarships
Lehigh’s scholarships for MBA programs are merit-based and determined by the strength of your application and/or academic performance while enrolled. FLEX MBA scholarship applicants must first receive an offer of admission to the program to be considered for an award.
The Committee on Scholarships and Financial Aid will consider an applicant's completed application and qualifications when determining scholarship awards. All scholarships are granted at the sole discretion of Lehigh University. The university reserves the right to adjust scholarship offerings at any time. Any admitted applicant who is awarded a scholarship will have that scholarship honored.
Note: Scholarships apply only to tuition costs. It is the student's responsibility to cover any additional fees and expenses beyond the tuition.
This scholarship is awarded to the strongest applicants in the FLEX MBA program. These applicants typically have the highest academic qualifications along with terminal degrees in their field (CPA and MD are examples), progressive work experience and many times strong GMAT or GRE scores. Recipients of this award can receive up to 12 credits.
This Endowed Fellowship Fund was made possible by a gift from part-time alumnus and retired investment counselor Robert Nanovic, and his wife Elizabeth. This scholarship is merit-based and awarded to current FLEX MBA students who have shown outstanding academic performance and have contributed to the program outside of the classroom. This award can range from 1-5 credits per academic year and may be renewable. Students must complete a minimum of 9 credits before they are eligible for this scholarship. This scholarship does not automatically renew; all students must reapply each year.
Please note: If you receive any tuition reimbursement from your company, it must be used in its entirety before your scholarship will be applied. You must notify the Graduate Programs Office if your tuition reimbursement plan changes.
