Scholarships/Graduate Support
Fletcher awards grants in aid on a yearly basis; however, only a very few of these scholarships cover the full expenses of tuition, room and board. The School requires students seeking Fletcher aid to explore outside sources for fellowship grants and loan programs. Students should begin their search for aid as soon as they decide to apply.

Special Features
The Program in Southwest Asia permits specialization in the Gulf and Central Asian regions in conjunction with the courses offered by the international programs in economics, politics and development. Arrangements with Harvard University permit Fletcher students to register for graduate courses offered at the Middle East Center, and to use their research facilities. There are also a Armenia and Qatari diplomatic training program offered at the Fletcher School.

Additional Information
The Fletcher School intends to expand its activities in the Middle East and North African areas.
