Carnegie Mellon University’s H. John Heinz III College, in partnership with StartingBloc, is pleased to announce the creation of a graduate school partnership.
Heinz College awards the scholarship to StartingBloc alumni who are entering one of the College’s full-time graduate degree programs. The award will be made at the time of admission (no separate application is necessary). To be considered for the scholarship, Heinz College applicants should indicate their StartingBloc alumni status on the application for admission. Eligible students will receive at least $5,000 per semester, and most students will receive more.
Eligibility
This program is designed for individuals that have completed the StartingBloc program and are interested in pursuing a degree in any of the master’s programs at Heinz College.
Admissions Requirements
To apply, prospective students must take the GRE (or GMAT), complete an application form, and submit transcripts from all universities attended, three letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose and a resume. Students can apply on-line for free. Students are granted admission on the basis of academic achievement, performance on the GRE, experience in the proposed field of study, leadership experience, fit of their goals with the program, and recommendations that indicate they are capable of excelling in a rigorous master’s program. No single factor guarantees or prevents admission; all factors are weighed in the process.
