Scholarship Awards
The Executive MBA Program offers a limited number of scholarship awards for select candidates. The number of awards, available scholarship funds and selection criteria may vary from year to year, and may include awards for candidates employed in the non-profit or government sector, merit based (career accomplishments and academic achievements) and awards based on need. Individuals interested in need-based awards must complete the FASFA form. A complete EMBA application is required for candidates to be eligible to submit an application for award consideration. Awards selection is competitive and preference will be given to early applicants.
Financial Aid
A variety of resources are available to help you meet the financial obligation. More than two-thirds of Executive MBA students take advantage of federal and /or private student loan programs.
- The University of Georgia Office of Student Financial Aid is equipped to provide up-to-date information on financial assistance available to Executive MBA students via federal loan programs. Please visit the department website or email Robert Tucker, UGA Student Financial Aid Loan Director. The first step to apply for federal student loans is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA) form. You may complete this form as soon as you apply to the program, but loan eligibility will be determined only after you have been accepted by the University of Georgia Graduate School. Please note that federal loans are available to U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents only.
- In addition to UGA’s Office of Student Financial Aid, the official GMAT web site features an array of information about financing your MBA via various public and private funding sources.
- Please note that Executive MBA candidates must be fully admitted by the UGA Graduate School before loans may be awarded. Therefore, late applicants may be in jeopardy of not receiving funding to cover the first program fee installment.
