  • Alumni Scholarship

    Alumni of Washington University may receive scholarships to help finance their enrollment in Olin Business School programs.

The wraparound support I received through my scholarship, the Graduate Programs Office and faculty influenced my success in the program tremendously. I would not have been able to be as present and focused on learning without these key pieces, which ultimately allowed me to secure a dream job and graduate without substantial financial debt.
