Financial and Enterprise Risk Management (FERM) Scholarships

Investing in Financial Risk Excellence

For Fall 2026, the UConn MS in Financial and Enterprise Risk Management program offers competitive scholarship awards to select admitted students. 

Scholarships recognize candidates who demonstrate strong quantitative ability, academic achievement, and a clear commitment to advancing risk management and financial analysis. Depending on funding and applicant strength, awards may offset a meaningful portion of tuition—up to 25% of total program costs. 

Admitted students will receive an invitation to apply through their application portal. Awards are limited and granted based on overall strength of candidacy and alignment with the program’s analytical focus. Early applicants will receive priority review. 

Current Student Scholarships

Current students are also eligible for merit-based, travel course, and 5th-semester scholarships, designed to reward academic excellence, support global education experiences, and help students continue their academic journey.
