Regarding financing an MBA, what is the context today?
Anything new? How to finance an MBA is the question QS experts are asked most often. Our research suggests that schools are, generally, cutting down the amount of money they are providing in scholarships this year, and perhaps into 2010. This makes business sense of course, and is undoubtedly a short term situation. However scholarships do still exist. The QS World MBA and World Grad School Tour is offering US$1.6million to attendees at our events, to some of the best schools in the world, including Wharton, Chicago, Cass and IE. As for banking loans, the indication is that, while it is harder to secure loans in some places, MBA graduates are largely considered safe bets so banks are not seeing them as a risk and loans should still be possible to find.
