Empowering Tomorrow's Business Leaders
unlock your potential with fcbe scholarships
The Fogelman College of Business and Economics offers over 150 different private scholarships to declared business majors totaling over $450,000. These scholarships are available to incoming freshmen, transfer, continuing, graduate, and doctoral students each year. All FCBE scholarships are awarded for the academic year (fall and spring semesters only).
Students are able to apply for two (2) different types of scholarships: General Business Scholarships and Departmental Scholarships. We encourage students to apply for both types of scholarships as many high ability students are awarded scholarships from both categories.
These scholarships are available to ALL Fogelman College of Business and Economics (FCBE) students, regardless of their specific major or degree level. That means:
- Both undergraduate and graduate students can apply.
- You don’t need to be in a specific department or program - just enrolled in FCBE.
These scholarships are more specific. They are awarded based on:
- Your major or degree program within FCBE.
- You must be studying in a particular department (like Accounting, Marketing, Finance, etc.).
- Available to both undergraduate and graduate students, but eligibility depends on your field of study.
because a smart business education should be affordable
At the University of Memphis, we believe that a top-tier degree should not break
the bank. With tuition rates far lower than our competitors and a cost-of-living that
is 15% lower than the national average, our business degrees will set you up for a
profitable future without saddling you with enormous debt.
In addition to the FCBE General Scholarships and Departmental Scholarships, below
are various university-wide scholarship opportunities that students can apply for. In most cases, the university-wide scholarships can be
stacked with the other FCBE scholarships found on this website.
Talk to an admission counselor or contact the UofM Scholarship Office to learn more about these university-wide scholarship opportunities.
