Educational Loans
Loans provide students the opportunity to cover their educational, living and personal expenses while completing their MBA. Loans make it possible for students to invest in a future of expanded career opportunities and increased earning power. Loans are also the most common source of financial assistance for MBA students.

Merit-based Scholarships
One of the ways the Atkinson School and Willamette University exemplify the University motto of “Not unto ourselves alone are we born” is by providing a merit-based scholarship program. We invest our financial resources – as well as our knowledge, time and energy - to help MBA students meet their educational and professional goals.

Merit-based scholarships range from 10% to 100% of tuition. All applicants admitted to a full-time format of the Willamette MBA program are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships based on GMAT or GRE score, undergraduate grade point average, experience and potential. Applicants interested in maximum consideration for scholarship assistance are urged to complete the application process as soon as possible. Approximately 50% of students enrolled in one of the full-time formats of the Willamette MBA receive merit-based scholarship assistance. {learn more}
