Beginning this fall, Hopkins undergraduates and alumni pursuing full-time master\u2019s degrees in engineering at the Whiting School of Engineering will receive a 50 percent tuition grant.<\/p>\n
Under the new Dean\u2019s Fellowship program, the tuition break is available to any alum who earned his\/her undergraduate degree on the Homewood campus and is accepted into a full-time engineering master\u2019s degree program. Also eligible are full-time students enrolled in combined bachelor\u2019s\/master\u2019s degree programs, which are typically completed in five years. The tuition break would apply to the fifth year of study.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have excellent engineering undergraduates at Johns Hopkins, and we\u2019d like to encourage them to stay here and get their master\u2019s as well,\u201d says Dean Nick Jones. \u201cWe also want our students and alumni to be successful in their professional careers, and a master\u2019s degree can give them an important competitive edge in a challenging job market. With the fellowship, we\u2019re trying to make it easier for those who are already part of the Johns Hopkins family to obtain these degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
