Financing Your Graduate Degree at the Tobin College of Business

The Tobin College offers a variety of opportunities for our students to receive financial assistance in their pursuit of a graduate degree.

Graduate Assistantships

The Tobin College of Business offers graduate assistantship positions to first semester full-time M.B.A. students applying for admission to the College in the fall or spring term. These assistantships are awarded based on merit, and involve a very competitive evaluation and interview process.

Graduate assistants are selected based upon outstanding academic achievement, a commitment to community service and demonstrated leadership ability. Because our graduate assistants assume leadership roles at various levels throughout Tobin, they play an instrumental role in advancing our College's objectives. They become our ambassadors and shining examples of the level of excellence for which The Tobin College of Business is often acknowledged.

Considered to be one of the more generous assistantship packages offered for graduate business education, the graduate assistantship provides tuition for two years of study and a generous monthly stipend. Graduate assistants are placed in research and/or administrative roles within one of our varied specializations.

All applicants for graduate assistantship positions must complete the Graduate Assistantship application form enclosed in our standard application packet.

***Please note the deadline to apply for graduate assistantship is November 1 for the spring term and March 1 for the fall term.***

Scholarships

Your graduate application for admission to The Tobin College of Business serves as your application for University-funded partial scholarships. All applicants are automatically considered for any available scholarships funds upon acceptance to a degree-granting program.

Scholarships are limited in number, and are awarded based on academic merit as well as financial need. Scholarship funds have also been allocated by the College for under-represented minorities, women, and, on occasion, part-time students.

Candidates interested in being considered for a scholarship should submit all application materials by the recommended application deadlines.

Dean's Scholars Program

The Peter J. Tobin College of Business at St. John’s University is pleased to announce the establishment of its Graduate Dean’s Scholars Program. The Program will enroll its first group of Dean’s Scholars in the fall 2007 semester.

Individuals will be selected for this honor based upon previous academic achievements, leadership experience and/or potential, commitment to their community, and potential for business success. This small group of awardees will receive both recognition as a Dean’s Scholar as well as a partial tuition scholarship to offset the costs of attending the Tobin College MBA Program.
