Partial Tuition Scholarship – No Separate Application Necessary

We recognize that pursuing an advanced degree is a significant investment in both time and resources. In an effort to make our program more financially accessible, students admitted to the Master of Arts in Sustainable Energy (online) for fall 2025 are now eligible for a partial tuition scholarship. This is the first time we’ve extended this opportunity.
