Paying for your MBA

The program fee includes textbooks and course materials, meals and lodging at residence sessions, parking and lunch on class days, food and refreshments at hosted social functions, and traditional courtesies. For monthly North America students, lodging is provided during class sessions (students requesting a single room will be responsible for half the lodging expenses).

Financial aid

THERE ARE TWO EXECUTIVE MBA LOAN SOURCES:

• Federal Stafford Direct Loan
• Private MBA Tuition Loan

THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT YOU CAN BORROW PER YEAR IS:

• $18,500 through the Federal Stafford Direct Loan program
• Up to the full program fee amount through the Private MBA Tuition Loan Program

Who is eligible to apply

Most University of Washington Executive MBA students qualify to borrow $18,500 per year through the Federal Stafford Direct Loan Program. To apply, you must be a permanent U.S. resident, must not be in default on a prior federal student loan, and must have registered for the draft if required by law to do so. Otherwise, this program is not based on need, income, or credit. Depending on credit worthiness, EMBA students may also qualify to borrow up to the full amount of the program fee through the private MBA Tuition Loan Program. Foreign residents may apply for this loan with a U.S. citizen co-signer.

How to apply

To apply for a Federal Stafford Direct Loan, fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on line at www.fafsa.ed.gov or on paper and submit it to the address included on the application. If you are offered admission to the Executive MBA Program and your FAFSA is approved, the University of Washington will send you a financial aid eligibility letter and a promissory note asking how much of the $18,500 annual maximum you wish to borrow. You will need the University of Washington’s federal financial aid code for the FAFSA: 003798.
