Financing your MBA
Evening MBA students finance their education with personal funds, employer support, educational loans, and private scholarships or, in most cases, a combination of these resources.

Who is eligible to apply?
Most University of Washington MBA students qualify to borrow $20,500 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 with the Selective Serice System if required by law to do so. Otherwise, this program is not based on need, income, or credit. Depending on creditworthiness, 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) online 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 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 $20,500 annual maximum you wish to borrow. You will need the University of Washington’s federal financial aid code for the FAFSA: 003798.

We recognize that not all students qualify for federal loans. International students can qualify for private loans with a creditworthy U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident co-signer. International students may also want to investigate private educational loans available from their home countries.
You are encouraged to do independent research and can borrow from any lender you prefer.
