- Candidate’s length of service with the company
- Candidate’s role and responsibilities
- Explanation of how the candidate (and company) will benefit from attending the GEMBA Program.
- Statement of financial support and/or time away from the company
- The letter should be prepared on company letterhead and include the manager’s telephone and email address.

Maximum you can borrow: $20,500 USD
Determined from FAFSA results.
Maximum you can borrow: Up to cost of attendance (minus other aid).
- Private loans are another resource available to cover your educational expenses. We strongly encourage qualified students to exhaust all federal loan options before applying for private loans. Unlike private loans, federal loans are required by law to provide flexible payment options, income-based repayment, and loan forgiveness benefits.
- 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.
UW’s International Student Services office provides information on Financial Assistance for International Students. Additional resources are available at eduPASS and IEFA.
