Donald P. Jacobs International Scholarships — Master's Scholarship

The Donald P. Jacobs International Scholarships support strong international students admitted to Kellogg’s Two-Year MBA or MMM program at Northwestern University in Evanston. The MMM route combines an MBA with an MS in Design Innovation.

Applicants do not submit a separate scholarship application because Kellogg automatically considers admitted students for its scholarships. Selected recipients are notified by admissions when they are admitted, and Kellogg does not publish this scholarship’s award amount or number of recipients.

Benefits & funding

Scholarship funding helps offset the cost of full-time graduate study, but the award amount is not published.
The award is available to incoming students in the Two-Year MBA and MMM programs.
Kellogg notifies selected recipients at the time of admission.

Be a strong international applicant admitted to Kellogg’s Two-Year MBA or MMM program.
Hold a bachelor’s or equivalent degree from an accredited institution by matriculation.
Kellogg strongly recommends at least two years of full-time work experience by matriculation, but this is not a stated minimum requirement.
Apply to only one Kellogg Full-Time MBA program in the admissions year.
