Lehigh Offers Numerous Funding Options for Graduate Students Entering the MSAE Program
The MS in Applied Economics degree is an important investment towards your future, and Lehigh University offers several resources to make it more manageable.
Scholarships
Applicants for scholarships must receive an offer of admission to the program in order to be considered for an award. Lehigh's scholarship awards are merit-based and determined by the strength of the application to the program. 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.
Please note that scholarships are only applied to the cost of tuition. It is the student's responsibility to cover any additional fees and expenses beyond the tuition. Please refer to the Tuition and Expenses page for details.
As a soon-to-be Lehigh alumnus, you may be eligible for the Lehigh Graduate Merit scholarship. This scholarship is awarded annually to a single, high-achieving student in the College of Business. It covers a year of free tuition, including one summer, two regular academic–year terms, and a winter term (if enrolled). Study abroad programs, including Lehigh Abroad programs, are not included.
Each year the College of Business nominates a student for the award. To be eligible for this scholarship, students must be accepted into a graduate program at Lehigh, and have a 3.75 GPA at the time of the program application.
Only early applicants will be considered for this scholarship. Students must receive an offer of admission by 2/12 (for fall start) or 10/13 (for spring start) to be eligible.
Yellow Ribbon Program
Veterans have proudly served. Now it's our time to serve you. Lehigh University is a proud participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which provides funding to cover tuition and fee charges that are not covered by the Post-911 G.I. Bill (Chapter 33) Benefits. The VA will match Lehigh’s Yellow Ribbon Program funding.
All graduate students must provide their Certificate of Eligibility to confirm VA Benefit. To learn more, please visit our Veterans Education Benefits webpage.
Financial Aid
Deciding to go back to school is a big decision, but figuring out how to pay for it doesn't have to be. The University’s Office of Financial Aid is committed to helping students attain a Lehigh University education, no matter your financial circumstances. Domestic students can learn more about funding their graduate education.
International students can learn more about the financial guarantee requirements under Tuition & Expenses. Funding options for international students may be available from outside resources.
