Kyle Cronan, Assistant Director of Graduate Business Financial Aid

TUITION AND FINANCIAL AID

Olin's Associate Director of Graduate Business Financial Aid is available to counsel you on your financial aid questions.
Cost for the 20-month program for students entering Class 40 in April 2012 is $99,000. Meals, textbooks, tutoring assistance, study materials, parking, shuttle transportation between Kansas City and St. Louis on class weekends and lodging for the two domestic residencies at the Knight Center are included in the tuition. Airfare and lodging costs for the international residency, however, are additional.  In addition, lodging for regular class weekends in St. Louis during the second year of the program is the responsibility of each student. Lodging packages at the Knight Center are available at a discounted rate.

Upon receiving an offer of admission into the Executive MBA Program, students are asked to submit a $2,500 nonrefundable deposit to secure a place in the class. Tuition is payable in five installments of $19,800 and the first invoice will be issued in June 2012. The deposit will be applied to the first tuition installment. Payments received by Washington University after the specified due date are subject to a late-payment fee.

Financial Aid

We provide a comprehensive financial aid program to assist you as you take the next step in your career. Some Executive MBA students receive full or partial financial support from their organizations, but many do not and student loans may be available for those who do not receive full financial support. Financial aid comes from a variety of sources, including the federal government, public and private sources, and Washington University. These resources may be available to students regardless of income and assets. Your need for financial aid has no bearing on an admissions decision.

  • Apply for financial aid early in the application process. Do not assume that you will not be eligible for financial aid.
  • Your eligibility for a particular form of financial aid is determined by a variety of factors including your citizenship status and the program in which you intend to enroll.  

The first step in the financial aid process is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a federal form used by virtually all colleges and universities for awarding student aid. To complete the FAFSA, visit the domestic process page of our website. The Olin Business School requires that you fill out this form to be eligible for financial services.

Need-based and non-need-based loans are available to students who request assistance in meeting the cost of a graduate education. These programs are available to students regardless of income and assets and include aid such as the subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans and various alternative loans. Grants are generally not available for Executive MBA candidates.

In addition, Washington University offers a monthly payment plan that allows students to spread all or part of a single academic year's expenses over nine or ten equal monthly payments. This payment plan can be combined with any of the low-interest financing options. There is an annual $65 enrollment fee that includes tuition protection insurance coverage. For additional details please visit the Student Financial Services website.

Scholarships
The Olin Business School offers a limited number of supplemental scholarships to offset the cost of tuition for students working for nonprofit organizations. This scholarship is not only an investment in our community, but creates a great learning opportunity in class between students representing corporate and nonprofit organizations. To be considered for this need-based benefit, the ideal candidate should be employed at the senior director’s level or above at a documented not-for-profit organization (excluding postsecondary educational institutions). In addition, candidates must be admitted to the Executive MBA Program and provide compensation documentation, along with any supporting materials that explains the purpose and mission of the nonprofit organization.

U.S. Military Veterans
Olin is proud to be a full participant in the Post-9/11 GI Bill’s Yellow Ribbon Program. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs determines candidates’ eligibility for this benefit.
