Corporate Scholarships and Funding

Fellowships

Fellowships provide funding for full tuition scholarships (up to 9 credits per semester). Fellowships are managed within the academic area to which the student is studying or planning to study. Therefore, all inquiries should be directed to the appropriate academic program administrator. The receipt of a fellowship supersedes other FDU financial aid funding.

Additional Financial Options

  • FDU employees and dependents are eligible to enroll for courses at the University on a “space available” basis. The Employee Tuition Grant Program covers tuition fees only and supersedes any other FDU funding.
