Financial Aid: Scholarships and Loans
Merit-Based Scholarships
Full-time students
Tuition scholarships provide the primary source of financial assistance for incoming full-time Katz students. These merit-based scholarships are awarded in various dollar amounts and are directly applied to tuition charges.
Katz School scholarships are available to full-time U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, and international students. You will receive notification of these awards through the mail along with your official admission decision letter.
Applicants desiring to be considered for scholarship awards must apply no later than December 1 for the One-Year program and no later than January 15 for the Two-Year and Dual Degree programs.
Educational Loans
Full-time and part-time students
Once students have gained admission to their MBA program of choice, they can inquire about educational loans through the MBA Admissions Office or by contacting the University of Pittsburgh’s Office of Admissions and Financial Aid. Full-time students will also receive a link to the Katz Admitted Student Intranet, which details the different types of educational loans available for MBA students. Two general types of educational loans are:
Graduate Stafford Loans
All MBA students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents may qualify for a maximum of $20,500 per academic year under the federal Stafford Loan Program.
Private Educational Loans
Private educational loans are available through various commercial banks and private lending institutions for educational expenses not covered by Graduate Stafford Loans or scholarship funds. U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply for private educational loans.
