Costs and Financial Aid

Many Evening & Weekend MBA students receive some form of employer tuition support. Applicants are encouraged to contact their human resources departments to determine their eligibility for this type of benefit.

US citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply for Federal Direct Student Loans. Detailed information is available at www.ed.gov/DirectLoan. Applicants begin that process by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Graduate students may borrow up to $20,500 annually. Students wanting to borrow more than $20,500 per year may utilize the supplemental loan program. Supplemental loans are also available to international students.

The Haas School offers a limited amount of grant funding through the Evening & Weekend MBA Grant. The purpose of this grant is to facilitate access to the Berkeley MBA for students whose current employment is in the nonprofit or public service sectors and who demonstrate significant financial need. Grant application materials are provided online and must be filed by April 15, 2010. The FAFSA must be filed by April 9, 2010.

Three scholarships are available for continuing Evening & Weekend MBA students.

• The Daniel Turner Scholarship is a $5,000 annual award offered to students engaged in entrepreneurial ventures, specifically those without company affiliations to provide financial support.
• The David Engelbrecht Scholarship, a $1,000 annual award funded by a memorial gift of friends and family of the class of 2000, is given to a continuing student who has demonstrated academic excellence and financial need.
• Single parents and individuals returning to the workforce are the intended beneficiaries of the Przybylski Deatrick Scholarship, funded by Steven A. Przybylski, MBA 01, and his wife, Michelle Regalado Deatrick.
