\"asian<\/a>We all know that an MBA degree doesn\u2019t come cheap. The primary expense of an MBA program is the tuition. However, there are many other costs that can\u00a0increase the total amount a student pays. Living\u00a0expenses, course materials and additional fee can be equivalent to up to another 50% of the tuition cost. Most\u00a0business schools provide a breakdown of the expenses on their websites. This helps candidates consider the cost of completing a particular MBA program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Pre-Matriculation Costs<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>– Just applying to MBA programs can be costly. To start,\u00a0taking the GMAT once will cost candidates $250 for each time they take the test. In\u00a0addition, each business school typically charges an application processing fee, which range in price of up to $250.\u00a0Obviously, many candidates take the GMAT several times and apply to 3-6 programs. This can bring us to around $2000 just for trying. If you hire a GMAT tutor and\/or an admission consultant for help with your applications, you will need to add a few more thousand dollars to that calculation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Tuition<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>– Tuition at the top business programs has risen steadily for\u00a0decades. Students\u00a0can now expect to pay between $50,000 and $65,000 for a\u00a0single year\u2019s tuition at a top school. This is an average total\u00a0price tag of $115,000 for tuition alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Living\u00a0Costs<\/strong>\u00a0– The cost of living also forms a substantial part of a student\u2019s\u00a0expenses while at business school. These costs typically cover\u00a0housing, food, utilities and other personal expenses. They\u00a0can vary widely by geographic region and number of family members.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Additional Expenses & Fees<\/strong>\u00a0– Course materials, healthcare insurance, transportation costs\u00a0and other mandatory university fees can add several thousand\u00a0dollars to a student\u2019s expenses each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that we understand the costs we are dealing with, let’s see how we can cover them. If cost is one of your key considerations, the good news is that there\u2019s a vast array of financing options to make it all possible. But before you dive into the details, step back to understand your options and set a strategy. This part of the process is uniquely tied to <\/span>your profile and circumstances<\/strong>\u2014your personal resources, nationality, chosen program and credit history are all factors that will impact your financing approach. Generally, financial support for top MBA programs comes in two forms: <\/span>scholarships<\/b> and <\/span>loans<\/b>. Most students fund their studies using a combination of personal or familial savings, income, loans and scholarships.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most schools \u2013 especially the bigger, more prestigious institutes \u2013 offer generous scholarships and convenient, affordable loans. In leading programs, the number of students receiving financial aid from the school itself often exceeds 50%. It is important to note that scholarships are not especially prevalent, and one is more likely to be granted one at a business school that is <\/span>ranked between 20-50<\/strong> in the U.S. and Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scholarships<\/b><\/h2>\n

Most programs offer student scholarships. Some 48 percent of two-year MBAs received a scholarship, of varying amounts. While scholarships can be highly competitive, they\u2019re often tailored to specific profiles\u2014from personal attributes to gender, industry or academic distinction and service. These fall under three categories: need-based scholarships, merit-based scholarships, and fellowships.<\/span><\/p>\n

Need-Based Scholarships<\/h3>\n

Need-based scholarships<\/strong>\u00a0are dependent on the financial situation of the applicant. These are usually <\/span>only granted to citizens of the state<\/b>. These scholarships are relatively rare, but are still a viable option for students who struggle to finance their studies. The criteria for need-based scholarships differ at each institute, but they all take into account <\/span>income<\/b>, <\/span>savings<\/b>, <\/span>assets<\/b>, and sometimes, familial status and its implications. Certain\u00a0leading schools, such as Harvard and Stanford, are notable\u00a0exceptions to this trend in that all of the fellowships they offer\u00a0are based on financial need. <\/span><\/p>\n

Merit-Based Scholarships<\/h3>\n

Merit-based scholarships<\/strong>\u00a0are granted based on skills and past excellence. These talents and experience are expected to contribute to the program as a whole. These scholarships are generally <\/span>only announced after an\u00a0applicant is accepted<\/strong> into the program. From a school\u2019s perspective, merit-based scholarships ensure that a promising applicant chooses their program over other options. These scholarships are granted after a committee reviews several key factors, including <\/span>work experience, GMAT scores, and grades during B.A. studies<\/strong>.<\/strong> In some cases, schools are literally buying high GMATs and GPAs, to better position their MBA programs in rankings that use those metrics, such as\u00a0<\/span>U.S. News & World Report<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, most schools work to promote a diverse student body, and will generally choose <\/span>skilled women or applicants with unique ethnic backgrounds<\/strong> for these scholarships. Scholarships provided directly by a school are typically offered\u00a0on a consistent basis year to year. However, endowed\u00a0fellowships or private scholarships may not always have funds\u00a0available. Students applying separately should check with the head of\u00a0each program\u00a0to ensure they are being offered that year.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to note that as a school is ranked\u00a0higher<\/strong>, their process for merit-based scholarships becomes\u00a0more selective<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0more challenging.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Employer Sponsorship<\/h3>\n

A less-known option for financing an MBA is partial employer sponsorship. This option is usually associated with <\/span>Executive MBAs<\/strong>, where a business executive continues his or her career while enhancing their knowledge through a business program simultaneously. Company involvement or financial aid generally limits one\u2019s options to schools that offer part time schedules and accommodate full-time employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

School-Based Work Opportunities<\/b><\/h3>\n

MBA programs typically discourage full-time students from\u00a0working during their studies. However, some business schools\u00a0do offer work-based financial assistance, in which students apply\u00a0to <\/span>work with professors<\/strong> on research projects or <\/span>help teach\u00a0classes<\/strong> in exchange for tuition reimbursements. These opportunities\u00a0may pay up to $20,000 a year. Moreover, these opportunities are usually available\u00a0after a student has been enrolled for at least a semester.<\/span><\/p>\n

Loans<\/b><\/h2>\n

Most education financing is in the form of student loans. But while scholarships don\u2019t tend to have borders, loan eligibility is largely determined by where you live.\u00a0<\/span>For US citizens, the lowest interest loans are often offered by the government<\/strong>.<\/strong> To be eligible for US federal and state financial aid, you\u2019ll need to complete the FAFSA<\/a>. These government loans specifically include the Direct Loan Program,\u00a0the Direct PLUS Loan Program and the Federal Perkins Loan\u00a0Program. Through these programs, students can borrow the\u00a0cost of attendance, as determined by the school, minus any\u00a0financial aid packages they receive. <\/span><\/p>\n

Private Loans<\/h3>\n

There are also <\/span>private loans<\/b>, and some U.S. banks will allow international students to borrow with a creditworthy U.S. citizen cosigner. But alternative options that offer a non-cosigning option continue to grow\u2014from school-based partnerships with credit unions (such as Wharton and Duke Fuqua) to innovative investment models.\u00a0<\/span>Prodigy Finance<\/strong>,<\/strong> founded by INSEAD MBA alumni, is one such venture that\u2019s based on a predictive model and takes potential future income into account (not just credit history).<\/span><\/p>\n

Perkins Loan<\/h3>\n

Students with exceptional financial need, and who are matriculating\u00a0at participating schools, may also apply through their\u00a0school\u2019s financial aid office for a <\/span>Perkins Loan<\/strong> of up to $8,000\u00a0per year at a 5 percent interest rate. There are no other fees\u00a0associated with this loan. However, students should keep in mind that their school determines who receives this loan. Moreover, participating schools do not necessarily reserve funds for their\u00a0MBA students. <\/span><\/p>\n

Federal Loans<\/h3>\n

By law, federal loans can only be distributed to U.S. citizens or\u00a0permanent residents.<\/strong> This means that international students\u00a0must put extra work into finding financial aid and loan programs\u00a0to support their education if they choose to pursue a\u00a0U.S. MBA program. International students should research their own countries\u2019\u00a0options for financing studies abroad. The schools\u2019 financial aid\u00a0offices are also useful resources in this regard. International students can also consider U.S.-based private\u00a0loans. However, they should recognize that many of these loan\u00a0programs require a U.S. co-signer. Understanding that this\u00a0can prove a hardship for those without a U.S. connection,\u00a0some schools offer internal options for international students.<\/span><\/p>\n
