MBA Finances
Scholarship Opportunities
Haas Scholarships awarded with admission
To maintain your Haas Scholarship for your second year, you must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). All MBA students are expected to maintain a minimum grade-point average of 3.0 for continued participation in the program and graduation. If your GPA falls below the minimum, you will be placed on academic probation and will become ineligible for the undisbursed portion of the scholarship. The MBA Program Director and the Director of Academic Affairs are available to help students in academic difficulty develop a study plan to improve their grades.
Opportunities for 2nd year Students
Although the Haas School does not make any new awards to students entering their second year of study, there are still plenty of opportunities available to help students cover the cost of their education and reduce their dependence on loans.
Graduate Student Instructorships
Many graduate student instructorships (GSI's) are available to second-year students in several fields, especially accounting, economics, and communications. GSI's not only receive a salary, but dependending upon the appointment percentage, can be eligible for a partial fee remission. For Spring Semester, 2007 the amount of the fee remission was $4,300--which covered the University Registration Fee, Educational
Fee, and Health Insurance Fee.
You should apply for the GSI positions in the spring of your first year. If you have significant training in a specialized area, you may also find employment as a reader or tutor. More information about the GSI program at Haas, including how to apply, can be found on the Haas School's Official GSI Website.
