Evening & Weekend MBA Finances


Evening & Weekend MBA Grant

 

Grant Eligibility

 

All entering and continuing students in the Evening & Weekend MBA program, including international students, are eligible to apply for this grant. Students must apply annually for the EW Grant. Continuing students must meet grant criteria, demonstrate significant financial need, and maintain satisfactory academic progress each year in order to be considered. Grant funding is not guaranteed from year to year.

The EW Grant is awarded only to students who demonstrate significant financial need. Priority is given to students who currently work in the non-profit or public sectors. Net financial need is calculated by the Haas Financial Aid Office using guidelines established by the federal government. Please note, given the limited pool of funds, we are not able to meet the needs of all who apply.


In order to be considered for the EW Grant, students must apply for and accept all loans available through federal loan programs (both subsidized and unsubsidized loans). Students who fail to comply with this requirement will not be eligible to receive EW Grant funds and will be asked to return any funds already disbursed in that academic year.

 

In general, students who meet any of the following criteria will not be considered for a grant, unless there are special circumstances:

  1. You have a total annual household income (Adjusted Gross Income) of $100,000 or more.
  2. You have primary home equity in excess of $100,000.
  3. You have other assets and investments (e.g., stocks, bonds, mutual funds not including retirement accounts) valued at $50,000 or more.
  4. You are receiving tuition assistance from your employer in an amount greater than your possible Maximum Grant Award (refer to Grant Awards for instructions on calculating this number).
