Business Scholarships
Carthage awards two full-tuition per year Business Scholarships each year to incoming students. These scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate ability in business, and are renewable for four years.
The Business Scholarship deadline has passed for fall 2023 freshmen. Join our mailing list to receive more information and updates about Carthage scholarships.
With a first-class learning center, expert faculty, and a prime location in the heart of the Milwaukee-Chicago business corridor, Carthage offers students an unequaled experience in learning business principles. Students choose a specific major in business while studying a common foundation in accounting, economics, functional business areas, and management.
The Majors
The Competition
The Business Scholarship Competition takes place virtually/online in February 2023. If selected to compete, candidates will be invited to the virtual/online competition where they will take a comprehensive examination, have candid discussions with Carthage business students, and hear alumni share experiences and insights regarding their time as a Carthage business student.
How to Apply
Candidates interested in applying for a business scholarship must complete the following no later than December 3:
- Submit an application for admission to Carthage and supporting materials (high school transcripts).
- Submit the Business Scholarships Competition Application. (available in October 2023; join our mailing list to receive updates)
- Submit a one-page essay: Explain why you are interested in a career in business. (This is part of the online scholarship application.)
