Pursuing the Walton MBA is an investment in your future, and we're committed to helping
you explore financing options. These include scholarship opportunities, graduate assistantships,
and loans.
Graduate Assistantships
The newly redesigned Walton MBA offers a unique investment in top-tier talent by providing
graduate assistantship funding to all admitted students. This ensures you have the
resources to focus on building your business skills, achieving your academic goals,
and developing your professional excellence.
During the period a student holds a graduate assistantship, he/she receives a complete
tuition waiver and a monthly stipend. In return, the student works within the College
for 20 hours a week throughout their appointment.
This level of funding support is meant to attract competitive applicants from a broad
range of backgrounds. Successful candidates will share similar qualities including
professional work experience, superior academic backgrounds, strong interview skills,
and dedicated career aspirations.
