Financing Your Executive MBA

We award a limited number of merit-based scholarships to incoming Executive MBA students. You will automatically be considered for an award based on your EMBA application for admission; no additional application is required. Scholarships are awarded based on a holistic review of the completed application. Admitted students are notified of the scholarship awards from May 1 up until onboarding in August.

In addition to general merit EMBA scholarships, the Admission Committee awards the following:

Executive MBA Class Gift Scholarship

Endowed by the Class of 2005 to broaden the industry diversity in the class. Consideration is given to candidates coming from a discipline or profession typically underrepresented in the Executive MBA. Candidates who represent nonprofits, NGOs or public sectors will be considered.

The Executive Women of Goizueta (EWG) Scholarship

Awarded to promote the advancement of women in business and leadership by providing financial support to an accomplished Executive MBA candidate. Consideration is given to candidates based upon demonstrated leadership, professional progression, community service, and unique international professional background.

Rosemary and John Brown Family Scholars Program 

This $5 million scholarship endowment is open to graduates of Spelman College and Agnes Scott College who are accepted into a Goizueta graduate program. Scholarships are merit-based. Brown Family Scholars admitted into any of Goizueta’s graduate programs will benefit from small-by-design program classes known for a collaborative culture and highly experiential learning model. This will help scholars to formally build camaraderie and continue with mentoring and networking during the remainder of their studies.

Emory University Alumni

Alumni of Emory University’s graduate or undergraduate degree programs are eligible for the Emory University Alumni Scholarship.

Emory Office of Financial Aid

A variety of federal and private graduate student loans are available to finance your Executive MBA degree. For federal loan options, students must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you secure a federal loan, you must reapply each year by completing a new FAFSA form.

International EMBA students could explore several types of student loans. A list of possible options is available on the Office of Financial Aid website, or call 404-727-6039 with any questions.

Employer Support

Unlike many other Executive MBA programs, the Goizueta EMBA spans three calendar years, allowing you to reap more of the annual company sponsorship benefits and reducing out-of-pocket costs for you. You may also be able to secure additional sponsorship in one of two ways:

• By creating a proposal highlighting ways in which coursework and new skills will benefit your role and organization
• Designing an Independent Study addressing one of your company's pressing needs

Yellow Ribbon Program

Goizueta Business School is proud to have been a Yellow Ribbon partner school since 2009. The Yellow Ribbon Program is a provision of the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (aka Chapter 33), and students must first be eligible for the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Please contact the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to see if you are eligible and to request a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). According to the VA, you must use your full GI Bill funding before Yellow Ribbon funding is used.

Goizueta Business School provides up to 50 Yellow Ribbon awards per year for up to $25,100 annually, which is matched by the Veterans Administration. Candidates eligible for Yellow Ribbon funding will also be considered for merit-based scholarships.

Fort Benning Scholarship

In partnership with the Ft. Benning Maneuver Center of Excellence, Goizueta offers a limited number of scholarships of up to $10,000 to admitted Executive MBA candidates who are stationed at Ft. Benning in Columbus, GA. Candidates are encouraged to use their GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon benefits. No additional application materials are required to be considered.

Goizueta Business School Military Fellowships

The Goizueta Business School Military Fellowship recognizes one or more current Goizueta MBA students with a fellowship and financial stipend up to $10,000 for each student to serve in a formal role to support the Goizueta Business School in its military recruiting efforts for all graduate level programs (MBA, MS Business Analytics, Master of Analytical Finance).

Goizueta Military Scholarship

The Goizueta Military Scholarship provides funding support to active-duty military or veterans enrolled in any Goizueta degree program. The funding amount and number of scholarships awarded varies each year.

Military Consortium

To demonstrate our support of military candidates, Goizueta is associated with the Military Consortium, an organization under the umbrella of The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). Through this association, we offer the following benefits for applicants with military experience:

• Waived application fee for military persons who have been on active duty within three years of applying.
• A one-year deferment if an admitted military student’s plans are delayed by their service branch.
• Applications from deployed military personnel are accepted after our standard application deadlines.

Each of our five MBA programs offers a competitive advantage for students from all U.S. military branches. Learn more about the different funding options for our current military and veteran applicants to all of our programs.

Goizueta facilitates third party billing and other payment options.

Third-Party Billing

Tuition bills are sent directly to student sponsors and are payable at the beginning of each term. Although some students will seek corporate sponsorship, it is not required for admission.
