Fellowships
The Freeman School selects a limited number of students (domestic and international) to receive partial merit-based fellowships. All applicants are automatically reviewed for a fellowship award at the same time as the admissions decision.
Financial aid awards are included in the admissions notification letter, along with any specific terms which may apply to the fellowship. Learn more about fellowships.
Need-Based Financial Aid
Domestic students
Graduate level students use a combination of student loans, work study and personal funds to help defray the cost of educational expenses. At Tulane University, all loans and merit-based aid are administered through the central Office of Financial Aid. Students can borrow up to the budgeted MBA cost of attendance less any fellowships. For detailed information about student loans and how to apply please visit the Office of Financial Aid.
