Kellogg Scholarship — Master's Scholarship

Kellogg Scholarship is a merit award from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management for students admitted to its Full-Time MBA programs. Applicants do not submit a separate scholarship application; Kellogg considers admitted students automatically and notifies selected recipients when they are admitted.

The award supports in-person MBA study based in Evanston, United States. The official page does not publish the award amount or scholarship duration.
