Financial Aid
One
of the ways we welcome students to the our MBA or MPhil Program is by
helping them prepare for their financial obligations. Even as you consider
applying to PIMR, there are a few important things you should know:
* The MBA or M.Phil Program is need-blind in its candidate selection process.
When you apply for admission, we have no knowledge of your financial situation,
nor do we consider ability to pay as a factor
in your evaluation.
* Once admitted, students have access to financial assistance through
loans and fellowship programs to cover the entire student budget.
* Financial aid is awarded to students based on the cost of the program
or their ability to contribute. Our goal is to ensure that admitted students
get all the support and funds they need to attend PIMR. Given the rigorous
pace and range of MBA or MPhil activities, students should not plan to
be
employed during the academic terms.
* Throughout the entire financial aid process you have the guidance and
support of the PIMR team of Financial Aid Advisors. We work directly
with you, one on one, to help you determine need and identify resources.
A financial aid timeline
Securing financial aid involves a series of steps that proceed in the
following order:
* Submit your application for admission to the MBA Program.
* After admission, complete and submit the financial aid applications
that will be available to you on the PIMR web site or office.
* Follow the progress of your financial aid application on your personalized
online tracking tool.
* Review fellowship options offered by PIMR.
* Explore loan options and research outside funding opportunities. Outside
fellowship organizations maintain their own application and decision processes.
* Start planning now for the repayment obligations you may face after
graduation.
