Financing Your MBA
Company Sponsorship
Some MM Health Care students receive some level of financial support from their employers. Sponsoring organizations enjoy many benefits from this investment. However, typically about 17 percent of students are fully self-funded.
How Your Organization Benefits from Your Studies
Almost from day one, Vanderbilt MM Health Care students apply classroom and project learning to solve problems back at work. Their heightened knowledge and skills make them more valuable, versatile managers – blending quantitative and financial acumen, leadership, and strategic planning to support organizational challenges. Executive perspective is enchanced to support organization-wide goals.
Loans
MM Health Care students may apply for U.S. Government loans as full-time students via the Vanderbilt Financial Aid Office.

Because students are working executives capable of funding education through corporate sponsorships, loans and cash flow, scholarships for the program are not available.
GI, Yellow Ribbon Educational Enhancement Program
All military and veterans are eligible to use approved GI benefits at Vanderbilt. In addition, eligible veterans can attend Vanderbilt University at a significantly reduced cost thanks to the school’s participation in the Yellow Ribbon GI Educational Enhancement Program.
Under the Yellow Ribbon Program, a part of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008, colleges and universities can work with the federal government to offer reduced tuition and fees to veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. To be eligible, veterans must have served three years on active duty or at least 30 continuous days before being discharged for service-related injuries since the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks.
A $10,000 annual discount from both Vanderbilt and the government, totaling $20,000 per year, will be available for veterans who enroll in the Owen Graduate School of Management.
