A major increase in funding for financial aid is essential if Fletcher is to
continue to fulfill its mission to serve local, national, and international
communities in their search to develop relationships of mutual benefit,
security, and justice in an increasingly interdependent world. Fletcher
must continue to attract and enroll students of the highest potential,
regardless of their ability to pay, including international students from
developing countries and U.S. students of color.
Last year, Fletcher was able to award an average scholarship of $11,000.
With annual tuition and living expenses totaling roughly $50,000,
Fletcher remains beyond reach for too many admitted students.
At present, Fletcher students graduate from our two-year master’s

Our students’ contributions to issues of global importance will grow
substantially if we are able to support more fully their participation
in internships, field research, and conferences. Each year, Fletcher
students secure internships around the globe, often placing them
