Financing Your MBA
Pursuing your MBA is one of the most important decisions you will make; it is an investment in yourself and in your future. Wharton is committed to helping you explore financing options so you may make informed decisions. Now more than ever, we believe it is imperative to approach financing your education with a long-term vision and consider the value of the Wharton MBA in the context of your personal and professional goals.
Wharton strongly encourages you to discuss your financial options with your family or those who may provide support while attending school to select the financial resource(s) that best fit your needs, understanding that most students rely on multiple funding sources. Financing options typically include personal resources, educational loans, external scholarships and sponsorships, and Wharton fellowships.
Personal Resources – Everyone considering an MBA should evaluate all potential sources of income and assets and be aware of lifestyle choices. Determining a realistic contribution towards one’s MBA underscores the importance of investing in one’s education and reduces one’s reliance on educational loans. More »
Educational Loans – Federal and private loans are available to domestic students and permanent residents, and international students may borrow without a U.S. cosigner through an international loan program. More »
External Scholarships and Sponsorships – Other financial assistance may come in the form of outside scholarships and/or sponsorships, and students are encouraged to seek out these resources. More »
Wharton Fellowships – All admitted students are considered for fellowships, and no separate fellowship application is required. Each year fellowships are awarded to incoming students from myriad backgrounds. More »
