Where can I find outside scholarships for my MBA?
« on: August 19, 2016, 08:26:05 AM »
I've started my part-time MBA (three-year program) and got a nice scholarship for the first year (after much negotiating!), but the second and third year are sticker price. My work also pays $5250/year. I'd love to find external scholarships to apply to for years 2 and 3, as well. But I'm having a really hard time finding scholarships that are for the graduate level. On all the scholarships sites, the scholarships tend to be exclusively for undergraduate degrees - at best they are vague and I have suspicions that they are specifically for undergraduates. Does anyone know of good places to look for graduate-level scholarships (or specifically MBA scholarships)? I'm a non-traditional MBA student who works in international development, so I've tried the "social impact" angle when looking for scholarships, but so far to no avail.

Since I'm working FT, applying for a graduate assistantship is unrealistic. I also plan to go back to the school and see if I can get additional scholarships for years two and three, but I don't have my hopes high.

Anybody have any suggestions for places to look?

You want a good scholarship search engine, or mobile app.

A quick search found this : (search terms="scholarship search MBA")
Do your own search, and find something better.   All the best!

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
