Loans

There are two main Executive MBA loan sources:

  • Federal Direct Loan, FAFSA
    Maximum you can borrow: $20,500 / year
  • Private MBA Tuition Loans (like from your bank or credit union)
    Maximum you can borrow: Usually up to the full program fee amount

Who is eligible to apply for student loans?:

Most Boise State University Executive MBA students qualify to borrow $20,500 per year through the Federal Direct Loan Program. To apply, you must be a permanent U.S. resident, must not be in default on a prior federal student loan, and must have registered for the draft if required by law to do so. Otherwise, this program is not based on need, income, or credit. Depending on credit worthiness, EMBA participants may also qualify for private MBA Tuition Loans through your bank or credit union.

How to apply for a Federal Stafford Direct Loan:

To apply for a Federal Direct Loan, fill out a free application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you are offered admission to the Executive MBA Program and your FAFSA is approved, Boise State University will send you a financial aid eligibility letter and a promissory note asking how much of the $20,500 annual maximum you wish to borrow. You will need Boise State University’s federal financial aid code for the FAFSA: 001616.

We streamline the financial aid functions for EMBA participants.  Please direct any questions you have about Financial Aid to the Executive MBA Program Manager not the Boise State University Financial Aid office.
