University of New Haven Scholarship 2026 - 75% Tuition
The University of New Haven hands out its graduate money through two named awards: a Provost's Assistantship worth 75% tuition assistance plus an hourly wage for 550 hours of research or teaching work a year, and a Dean's Scholarship worth up to 50% tuition assistance on academic merit. Both are open to full-time domestic and international master's students, and neither has a separate form. The admission packet is the application. Undergraduates at the West Haven campus run on a separate automatic merit ladder worth $15,000 to $33,000 a year. The next graduate cutoff is 1 October 2026 for a spring 2027 start.
Fairleigh Dickinson University Scholarships 2027
Fairleigh Dickinson University Scholarships come out of the admission file, not a separate competition. FDU states plainly that applying for admission puts you in the running and no separate scholarship application is needed. Incoming freshmen are considered for merit awards up to $22,000 a year on high school GPA, renewable for four years. International freshmen have their own ladder, the FDU International Scholarship worth up to $24,000 a year, with a $16,000 transfer version, a $3,000 Global Housing Grant on the Metropolitan campus and $1,500 family and alumni grants. The next published cutoff is 1 December 2026 for January 2027 entry.
UNDP Internship Programme 2027 - New York HQ Stipend
The UNDP Internship Programme places students and recent graduates inside United Nations Development Programme teams for six weeks to six months, and the New York headquarters is one of its duty stations. Past headquarters calls have covered UN system affairs, corporate and institutional law, programmes and projects law, and policy and advocacy on climate and security risk. Unlike several other UN internships, this one pays: an in-person intern who is not funded by a university, government, foundation or scholarship receives a monthly stipend set for the duty station, calculated as 45 per cent of the lowest level of the local NPSA salary scale. UNDP pays nothing else. Travel, visas, passports, accommodation, living costs and medical insurance are all yours. Vacancies appear on the UNDP Job Page through the year at post level IN, with no annual application round.
Kansas State University Scholarship 2027 - Up to $76,404
Kansas State University hands out its general university scholarships automatically. Apply for admission by the priority date and you are considered, with no essay and no separate scholarship form. Kansas residents sit on a five-step ladder running from the $1,000 a year 1863 Landmark Award up to the $5,000 a year University Scholar Award. Out-of-state and international freshmen are assessed for the Wildcat Non-Resident Award, which wipes out 50% to 100% of the non-resident portion of tuition and is estimated at $9,551 to $19,101 a year, or $38,204 to $76,404 across four years. Domestic freshmen starting in Fall 2027 apply by 1 December 2026, while transfer and international applicants work to 1 May 2027. Competitive awards such as the $80,000 Presidential Scholarship need a supplemental application by 5 p.m. on 15 December 2026.
University of Michigan MBA Scholarships 2027 at Ross
University of Michigan MBA Scholarships are the merit awards attached to admission to the Ross School of Business Full-Time MBA in Ann Arbor. Every admitted applicant is considered automatically, there is no separate scholarship form, and awards run from $10,000 to full tuition. US citizens, permanent residents and international students are all in the pool, and an award is renewable across both years of the programme subject to good academic standing. The scholarship decision arrives with the admission letter, so the date that matters is the Ross application round deadline: Round 2 closes on 4 January 2027 for the class entering in autumn 2027.
International Monetary Fund Internship 2027 in DC
The International Monetary Fund Internship is the Fund Internship Program (FIP), a paid summer placement at IMF headquarters in Washington, DC for current master's and PhD students in economics, and for law students through the Legal Department route. About 50 students join each year from around the world. Internships run for 10 to 12 weeks between June and October, and the IMF pays a salary, round-trip restricted economy class air travel from your university to Washington, and limited medical insurance. Housing is not provided. The IMF publishes no closing date: postings go up on its career site in early December and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
University of Georgia Undergraduate Scholarships 2027
The University of Georgia hands out thousands of academic scholarships every admissions cycle, and almost none of them have an application form. Admitted first-year students are screened automatically for a ladder of awards running from a $2,000 Charter Scholarship up to the Foundation Fellowship, which pays a $15,750 stipend in state and $30,000 for international students on top of a tuition waiver. Out-of-state applicants are scored for the Classic and Classic City awards, which wipe out half or all of the gap between in-state and non-resident tuition. The only deadlines that belong to a scholarship rather than to admission are 1 November for the Foundation Fellowship and 15 January for the CURO Honors Scholarship.
