Financial Aid

Obtaining an MBA is a big investment in time, effort, and money. Most of you will have to make significant adjustments in your lifestyle to accommodate the cost of school and the decrease in personal income. We ask students to take on the primary responsibility for covering educational costs and to use savings, income from work and other resource at their disposal to help cover such costs.

Financial Planning should begin long before you make a final choice of which MBA program to attend. The decisions you make today will drive your student loan debt.

Many professional schools have limited scholarship or fellowship resources; students who don't have the resources to cover their own educational costs must depend on loans. Our mission is to work in partnership with you to find the most beneficial mix of funding options available to cover your educational costs without compromising institutional, professional, or legal standards. At the Johnson School, aid is broken down in two general categories:

  • Scholarship funds from the Johnson School or from outside sources

  • Federal, institutional, and private loan funds administered by the Johnson School

These categories of aid are awarded to students based on different criteria and have separate procedures. If you haven't already applied for student loans, it's not to late. See Loan Programs.
