SBC’s Financial Aid Advisory
The process of finding, applying for and sorting out MBA financial aid opportunities can be tedious and confusing. Most business school admits have three lending options: federal loans, institutional loans, and private loans. MBA students can apply for two types of federal loans: Direct Unsubsidized loans and Grad PLUS loans, both of which require you to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Institutional loans are provided by the MBA program. These are available to bridge the financial gap once you’ve maxed out scholarships, grants, and federal student loans. The eligibility requirements, borrowing limits, terms and conditions are set by each school, so these vary from one institution to the next.
We work one-on-one with each admit, identifying their financial needs and transferring that information with the admit to their financial aid application. If you already have received the admit to your dream MBA program and would like help with applying for financial aid as a US or international candidate, we are here to help with SBC’s Financial Aid Advisory service.
Overview of SBC’s Financial Aid Advisory service:
-
Personalized consultation with Jodi, SBC’s Financial Aid Advisor, who will help you find the money needed to help pay for your MBA program. Jodi provides timeframe instructions, so you don’t miss a deadline or make any mistakes that could cost time and money, as well as reminders of important steps that need to be taken.
-
Complete the FAFSA: The FASFA is the starting point for most federal, state and institutional financial aid. The proper completion of this form in a timely manner is crucial. In fact, the U.S. Department of Education reveals that the majority of people complete the FAFSA in such a way that prevents them from receiving the maximum amount of financial aid available.
-
Complete the CSS Profile: In addition to the FAFSA, some colleges require completion of the CSS Profile. This form asks the same basic questions as the FAFSA, but requires more details about your financial affairs. It is required by most private institutions, and can have custom questions from each MBA program.
-
Institutional Financial Aid Forms: MBA programs have supplemental financial aid forms that need to be completed in addition to the ones already mentioned.
-
Analyze Financial Aid Awards: We will analyze your financial aid awards and create a financial aid budget worksheet to rate the top schools your student is considering. Together we will determine if an appeal is in order.
-
Direct Appeal Process: If needed, we will help write a letter to the financial aid office for you to submit, and provide instructions on how to appeal to the schools to maximize your financial aid award.
