An MBA is within your reach.
The College of Business offers two types of financial aid to its prospective traditional students: graduate assistantships and scholarships. The university's Scholarships + Financial Aid Office is available to help you with FAFSA forms, private loans, grants, and other financial aid opportunities.
Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistants work closely with one or more business professors on academic research, grant administration, and special event planning. Several of our recent graduate assistants have co-authored publications with professors.
These are hourly paid positions, where you are considered a part-time employee of the university. Assignments are determined based on the merits of students' applications (GMAT scores, GPAs, and work experience), as well as skill sets and interests. To apply for a position, please complete the Graduate Assistantship Form during the application process. Current MBA students will receive emails regarding upcoming assistantship opportunities.
Additionally, some departments throughout the university request business graduate assistants for help with research, consulting services, and special projects support. These are also paid positions, and the College of Business connects the departments to appropriate students for matches. Interested students should contact the MBA Office.
Academic Scholarships
MBA applicants and students are considered for applicable scholarships as they become available upon submission of a completed application. No special forms are necessary.
There are several (non-Loyola) scholarships that can help fund your graduate education. Please see below for just a few of the organizations that provide outside scholarships to qualified applicants.
Programs for Veterans of Military Service
The Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid has provided specific information regarding the various programs available to veterans of military service. If you are interested in learning more, please visit http://academicaffairs.loyno.edu/records/veterans-certification-information.
Kathy Gros, Director of Student Records and Registration Services, is the University liaison for Veterans Affairs. Kathy can be reached via kgros@loyno.edu.
Employer Reimbursement
If your employer offers a tuition reimbursement plan, you may be eligible for a payment extension of 90% of your tuition and fees. Although transcripts and diplomas are not released until the final payment is received, this deferral may be helpful to you. Please review the requirements here for your program of study.
NOTE: A new Employer Reimbursement Agreement form must be submitted each semester.
