Your Next Steps
Come to Welcome Weekend — April 17–18
One of the best things you can do right now is to come to campus. Welcome Weekend gives you direct access to faculty, current students, career staff, and your future classmates. Foster provides up to $500 in travel reimbursement for you, plus $200 for a spouse or guest. Register by April 2, 2026.
Talk to Someone Who’s Done It
The most useful signal you’ll get is a real conversation. Contact us to connect with a current student in your target industry or function, or reach a Foster alum in your target city. These aren’t scripted talking points, these are people who made the same decision you’re making now.
Review Your Financing Options
Foster is a top-ranked program at a public university known for one of the best ROIs among US business schools. Before you finalize your decision, review scholarship, fellowship, and loan options. Many admitted students don’t realize the full scope of aid available.
Accept Your Offer
When you’re ready, accept your offer of admission and submit your deposit to secure your seat. Consortium applicants should use the Consortium acceptance form. Once your deposit is received, you’ll be connected to the Class of 2028 shared resources.
