Paying for your Online MBA

Employer Tuition Assistance

Realizing the value that employees with an MBA bring to their organization, many employers offer support to help you pay for your degree. Do you have any company-sponsored tuition programs available to you? Find out if your company offers education benefits such as tuition assistance, tuition reimbursement, or third party or sponsored billing. Since the program can be completed in two or more years, tuition can be spread across multiple fiscal years when applying your benefits.

Gain Your Company’s Support

If your employer doesn’t currently offer a tuition assistance program, we’ve created a guide to help you show them why it’s worth it. An investment in your education is an investment in their business.

Financial Aid

You can explore federal funding and other options to help finance your online MBA, such as:

  • Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan
  • Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans
  • Private Educational Loans

It’s usually advantageous to look into federal loans first. You’ll find the information you need to get started at the studentaid.gov website. Your first step will be to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you decide to look into private loans, elmselect.com is a good starting point to see a list of available lenders (you do not need to choose a lender from this list).

If you have questions, or if you want us to help you determine the best path to financing your MBA, we are here for you!
