The Rady School provides limited fellowship support to exceptional individuals admitted to the Rady MBA program. All domestic and international admitted students are automatically considered for merit-based fellowships at the time of admission, no additional application is required. To be considered for need-based financial assistance or subsidized and non-subsidized loans, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible.

Loans provide students with the opportunity to defer the cost of educational expenses by borrowing now and paying later. Loans are often part of a student's financial aid award. We encourage you to borrow only what you need. By borrowing wisely, students can use the competitive interest rates and repayment terms to their advantage.
