Merit-Based Scholarships
Each year, the Brooks School awards a limited number of highly competitive merit-based scholarships to candidates who demonstrate exceptional potential for academic excellence and professional success. These awards are granted at the time of admission. No separate scholarship application is required; all applications are reviewed for available funding until it is exhausted.
Course Graders
MHA students may serve as course graders by application. Course graders provide grading and student support services to faculty teaching Brooks School courses. Generally, but not always, these teaching support positions are awarded to second-year Sloan students who performed strongly in relevant courses during their first year of study. Course graders are paid an hourly rate. These positions do not provide tuition or health insurance waivers.
Research Opportunities
Students may have the opportunity to engage in faculty-led research projects. Research assistant positions are sometimes paid hourly (depending on available faculty research grants) or may be offered for academic credit through independent research. Students are encouraged to connect with Sloan faculty to explore ways their existing research and analytical skills might support ongoing faculty research initiatives.
