Paying for grad school: A guide to Full-Time MBA scholarships
Scholarships help make this investment more accessible to all. In this guide, we’ll break down the different types of scholarships and discuss their availability for Minnesota Carlson’s Full-Time and Management Science MBA programs.
Loans
All qualified students pursuing an MBA at Minnesota Carlson are eligible for financial aid in the form of federal loans up to the total estimated cost of attendance (COA) minus any other scholarships, grants, or other funding. Eligibility for need-based aid is determined through the submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the University’s OneStop Student Services Office. Generally, graduate students are considered financially independent by the federal government, which means financial need will be assessed by the student’s personal financial information (and spouse if married) and will not include parental financial information. The University has reciprocity agreements with the states of Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the province of Manitoba, Canada. Please note: US citizens and permanent residents are eligible for federal loan programs in most cases; non-US citizens do not qualify.
