The Rudolph Scholarship provides a one-year, partial tuition scholarship for 2023 UChicago College graduates who will be continuing their studies in an eligible UChicago Master’s or professional program in the 2023-24 academic year.

Should you be admitted to one of these select graduate programs, the College will award a tuition scholarship in the amount of $15,000 to help defray your costs in your eligible UChicago graduate program.  The Rudolph Scholarship is available only to 2023 graduates of the College at the University of Chicago.

The Rudolph Scholarship is a one-year $15,000 scholarship for graduate study in the 2023-24 academic year, including Summer 2023. It may be used in conjunction with the rest of your scholarships, including any tuition scholarships from your graduate division. However, the cumulative total of all of your scholarships can not exceed the actual charged tuition. If that occurs, your Rudolph will be prorated.  The Rudolph is only applicable to the 2023-24 academic year, so if your graduate program cannot be completed between Summer 2023 and Spring 2024, the Graduate Financial Aid team can assist with other forms of financial aid to help you complete the subsequent years of your studies.
