EMBA Sponsorship Tips for Applicants

For most applicants, proposing and receiving sponsorship is a crucial part of the application process. While employer endorsement is a requirement for admission, financial sponsorship is at the discretion of the student's organization. It can range from accommodating a student's schedule to covering tuition costs or providing full financial support for program and travel expenses.
