Not sure if anyone has responded yet, but I've seen and hear several times that around 30% of incoming students receive scholarships starting at $10,000 per year and topping out at $30,000 per year. Very few students get fellowships which cover all tuition and an annual stipend.
Does anyone have insight on what type of what type of candidate profile would potentially up for a scholarship? A few different times I've seen it is based on "academic merit" or "financial need"... but what does that mean? Is there a GMAT or GPA range that constitutes "academic merit"? Or an income range or savings amount that constitutes "financial need"? I know it probably depends on the class profile, but it would be interesting to hear how this has played out in the past.

In terms of academic merit, most likely GMAT >750, High GPA, and/or Strong undergrad institution. In terms of need, I would say people coming from the public sector, education, non-profit, etc. or those that have the ability to conceal a large portion of either their salary and or their net worth, but I find that a bit more unrealistic
