An A in affordability
The Pitt2Pitt Scholarship, open to graduating seniors and alumni, offers up to $7,500 per student pursuing postbaccalaureate education in a participating graduate or professional program. This makes earning an advanced degree or certificate both attainable and affordable. Best of all, there’s no application to complete — scholarships are automatically applied to tuition upon acceptance into a graduate program.
Pitt2Pitt Graduate Education Fair attendees can chat with representatives from the 110 graduate programs that offer Pitt2Pitt Scholarships. Many advanced degree programs offer flexible learning options, including part-time, hybrid and remote courses.
“Pitt has incredibly talented, driven undergraduate students. And they already know the quality of education here — many of our programs rank nationally and internationally,” said Vice Provost for Graduate Studies Amanda Godley, whose office established the scholarship. “To be able to encourage them to stay or return for grad school is a win-win, for Pitt and for our students.”
Expanding access to higher education
If you have academic promise, you belong here, regardless of your financial situation. The University of Pittsburgh has launched several other affordability efforts in recent years including the Kessler Scholars Program, Panthers Forward, Pittsburgh Public Scholars, the Pittsburgh Admissions Collaboration, Pitt Fund$Me, the Coalition for College and Raise Me.
