Funding
Opportunities
Third-Year
Scholarships
Presently, each
tuition-paying,
third-year student
in good standing
within the Erb
Institute MBA/MS
program receives
approximately 50%
tuition support (based on the
arithmetic average
of tuition rates
at SNRE and Ross)
during his/her third
year in the program. In 2007-08, third-year students enrolled at full-time status during both the fall and winter semester received awards as follows:
- Michigan Residents ($6,500 per semester)
- Non-Residents ($9,000 per semester)
Nonprofit/Government
Internship Support
Students who
accept internships
with nonprofit
and/or governmental
organizations are
encouraged to apply
for supplemental
funding support from
the Erb Institute.
Awards are made on a
case-by-case basis
and are largely
dependent on the
level of employer
funding. Awards
typically range from
$1,000 to $5,000.
Masters Opus
Grants
Erb Institute MBA/MS students are eligible to apply for competitive
funding to subsidize
expenses associated
with conducting the
sustainability-related
research that is
necessary to fulfill
the requirements of
the Masters Opus at
the School of
Natural Resources
and Environment.
Applicants must
fully articulate the
scope of their
planned research
activities and
demonstrate that the
expenses to be
funded are necessary
to conduct this
research. Awards are
typically capped at
$2,000 per student.
Service Awards
Since its
inception, the Erb
Institute MBA/MS
Program has
continuously
improved due to the
unselfish
contributions put
forth by countless
students enrolled in
the program. To
recognize these
efforts, the
Institute bestows
four annual service
awards for the most extraordinary
student contributions. (Three awards were offered prior to 2008). Winners of these
awards are selected
by their fellow
students and earn
$2,500 scholarships
along with public
recognition.

Conference Fees and Related Travel
The Erb Institute has given significant consideration to this issue over the years and we have concluded that the best forms of direct financial support for students are third-year scholarships, non-profit internship subsidies, small research grants and service awards. Therefore, the Erb Institute does not award any funding related to general conference attendance.
Please note that SNRE provides some funding support for conference attendance.
There is also a funding source within Rackham that students can
draw on if they are presenting academic work at conferences.
