Financial Aid and Tuition
The Accounting Professionals MBA Program provides all students with a highly attractive financial aid package. Your financial aid can be applied toward your educational costs including tuition, fees, campus housing, and meals. For the first six months of your on-campus studies, you will receive cash advances of US $200 per month.
Accounting Professionals (AP) Loan
All candidates who are accepted to the program are offered the Accounting Professionals (AP) Loan, in which most of your educational costs are paid from your U.S. practical training earnings in monthly loan payments. You make monthly loan payments after you start working in your practical training position. You are not required to make any loan payments during your on-campus studies.
All accepted applicants will be awarded financial aid under the AP Loan. This loan provides US $19,485 in financial aid, covering 80% of your tuition, fees, and campus housing and meals.
Under the AP Loan Program, you will obtain a loan from a pre-determined bank to cover the applicable program cost, less any prepaid or CitiAssist Loan amount. The University will pre-arrange the AP Loan with the bank. Students will be accepted for the loan without posting any collateral. The bank, of course, will require all students to sign a bank loan agreement.
