How much of my Wharton MBA tuition can the Joseph Wharton Fellowship cover each year?

The Joseph Wharton Fellowship is merit based, so each recipient gets a different amount. Wharton does not publish a range, and awards are individual, up to nearly full tuition. A figure such as USD 25,000 to USD 75,000 per year is only illustrative. The money is spread over four semesters.

The Joseph Wharton Fellowship is awarded individually on merit, and Wharton does not publish a range. An illustrative figure is USD 25,000 to 75,000 (approx INR 24.10 to 72.29 L) per year, and awards can reach nearly full tuition for the two-year Wharton MBA, so your own figure could land anywhere.

How the award reaches you

  • The fellowship comes as part of your admission and financial aid offer.
  • There is no separate application, and no negotiation step for the award.
  • Wharton may adjust the amount if you receive an external sponsorship.

My Advice

Plan your budget around the lower end of the illustrative range until your offer arrives, because the award is decided case by case. If you hold an outside sponsorship, tell your finance planner early, since Wharton may change the fellowship amount in response. Always confirm current figures on Wharton's official page.
