International Students

All international students are eligible for consideration for the Haas Evening & Weekend MBA Grant. International students entering their second and third years of study are eligible for the:

• Daniel Turner Scholarship
• David Engelbrecht Scholarship
• Przbylski Deatrick Scholarship

In addition to these Haas awards, a number of external scholarship opportunities exist for international students. Please refer to the Scholarship Opportunities section of this site for information on the various types of awards and resources to assist in your scholarship search.

The University of California Office of the President, in coordination with the various UC campuses, has developed a preferred lender list comparison chart of the private loan options available to students. The lender list was developed through a competitive RFI process and finalized June 9, 2008 for the 2009-2010 academic year.

Effective October 2, 2008, the only loan programs from US financial institutions available to International students at Haas almost exclusively require the student to apply with a credit-worthy US citizen co-signer. For additional information on loan options, including application instructions, please refer to our Private Loan Comparison Chart. The Haas School's Office of Financial Aid does not receive, and will not accept, inducements from lenders in exchange for inclusion in the private loan comparison chart; nor does the Haas School share in the profits from student loans

A Note on Disbursements
Students need to be enrolled at least half-time (6 units) each semester that you wish to receive loans.

Loans are always disbursed in two payments, 50% each semester, after you are enrolled for classes at least half-time. Loan proceeds will credit to your CARS account and pay any outstanding charges. If a balance remains, a refund will be sent to your bank account IF you have completed an EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) Agreement, http://eftstudent.berkeley.edu
