Minerva offers partial tuition scholarships to admitted students who meet either our Teach for All or our Military Service scholarship criteria, described below. In all cases, these scholarships are disbursed in three equal installments over the first three terms of the program. During those three terms, scholarship recipients are not eligible for the Minerva loan program, described below. Scholarship recipients are, however, eligible for the Minerva loan program for the remainder of the time in their respective programs, after all scholarship payments have been disbursed.

Teach for All

Teach for All network fellows and alumni are eligible for a $10,000 scholarship toward either the MDA or the CDA program. Applicants should note during the application process which Teach for All network they have participated in (Teach for America, Teach for India, Teach for Nigeria, etc.).

Military Service

Current and former members of their country’s military, who have served at least two years active duty or five years reserve beyond any government-required term of service, are eligible for a $10,000 scholarship toward either the MDA or the CDA program. Applicants should note their qualifying service during the application process.
