Private Scholarships

Begin searching for scholarship/grant/fellowship funding provided by private organizations early. UNC Chapel Hill’s Funding Information Portal is dedicated solely to assisting graduate/professional students search for funding opportunities and may be useful in your search. Be aware that private funding may not be as readily available for graduate/professional students, particularly for MBA students, as it is for students pursuing their first degree.

In the past, UNC Kenan-Flagler MBA students have received funding from the below organizations and programs.

• Prospanica (formerly known as the National Society Hispanic MBAs)
• The Robert Toigo Foundation
• The Fund for American Studies Dell Thurmond Woodward Fellowship
• Noble Argus Foundation
• Barclays Inspiring Excellence Fellowship
• Edmund S. Muskie Graduate Fellowship
• The Kinesis Scholarship (for residents of Puerto Rico)

Graduate Assistantships and Federal Work-Study

Please note that there are no Graduate Assistantship positions for MBA students. Similarly, Federal Work-Study positions are not available to MBA students. Some students may choose to work on campus during their second year, but these are part-time positions that are not considered assistantships or work-study positions. Second year students may assist professors with grading, but these are not considered assistantship positions.
