A graduate education is a significant investment in your future. There are several funding possibilities available to eligible Walton Graduate School of Business students including assistantships, scholarships, fellowships, and financial aid. Below you will find more information on these options. If you have any questions, please contact the Graduate School of Business.

Graduate assistantships are a unique characteristic of the Walton MBA. Graduate assistantships may be for two years or less. During the period a student holds a graduate assistantship, he/she receives a complete tuition waiver and a stipend. In return, the student works as an assistant for 20 hours a week. Several graduate assistantships are offered.

All admitted students are automatically considered for assistantships after they are admitted to the program – no additional application required for assistantships. International applicants are also eligible to receive graduate assistantships.
