Supporting promising individuals in financial need.
Impact Scholarships
Impact Scholarships provide full tuition for new graduate degree and certificate students who demonstrate promise for greatly impacting their communities. This is a competitive scholarship based on three criteria:
- Your ability to make an impact, based on your commitment to and influence within your community.
- The community you seek to serve faces hardships, experiences high needs, and/or has historical disadvantages.
- A demonstrated and expressed financial need.
International Students
We value the experiences and perspectives of international students as well as those within the United States. Studying at the IIRP Graduate School does not require travel and student visas to attend. Our program is designed to allow students to continue their studies from anywhere in the world without disruption.
Application Process
Applicants must complete their application for one of our graduate programs via the Student Portal.
Please Note:
- All supporting documents for the degree or graduate certificate application and scholarship application are due at the indicated deadline.
- International applicants must complete the process for degree evaluation and, in some cases, language equivalency tests. These applicants are encouraged to begin the process early.
- The scholarship is only applicable to new students. Scholarship applications are available each term, with up to six scholarships awarded each year.
