Financial Aid

HBS offers generous need-based fellowships for admitted MBA students.  Approximately 65% of HBS MBA students receive some form of financial assistance to finance their education. As part of the Yellow Ribbon Program, HBS contributes up to $20,000 for each eligible service member, matched dollar-for-dollar by the US Department of Veterans Affairs.  If you believe you are eligible for the Yellow Ribbon program and / or the GI Bill, make sure you apply for your benefits early.

Harvard Business School waives the $250 MBA program application fee for all active duty military applicants.

For more information, visit the HBS Financial Aid website, the HBS External Funding for Veterans website, and the GI Bill homepage.
