Application Process
Candidates who are admitted to the Darden School of Business will be reviewed by the Darden School Foundation for its merit scholarships. The Darden School Foundation’s scholarship committee will independently review your admission application, so no separate application for these Foundation offered scholarships are needed. If a Foundation scholarship requires an interview, we’ll inform you at the time of your admission decision. For Foundation scholarships that don’t require an interview, we’ll notify recipients at the time of admission.
“Receiving a scholarship from Darden meant not choosing between my goals and aspirations and my obligations to my family.”
— Katie Winebarger (Class of 2022),
Recipient of the Warren M. Thompson Scholarship
