“A graduate management education can be very expensive when you add up the cost of tuition, living expenses, and foregone earnings, but most MBA graduates of top schools are satisfied with the investment they’ve made in their future. We’re here to help you find a way to pay for your Vanderbilt MBA degree.” -Admissions Officer
Business school is probably the single most significant investment you will make in your personal and professional development. We are committed to helping students afford the Vanderbilt MBA program by offering a significant number of Scholarships. In addition, students may apply for low-interest federal and alternative loans to pay for tuition, living expenses, and a wireless laptop computer.
This section presents an estimated student budget and explains all aspects of loans, scholarships, and employment, any of which you can use to make up the difference between your personal savings and the total cost of your education. Please remember that almost all financial aid is distributed in equal amounts each year—half for the fall semester and half for the spring—so plan ahead carefully to avoid running out of money.
