STUDENT LOANS
Students enrolled in the MBA for Executives Programs (Evening MBA, Weekend MBA, or
OneMBA®) are eligible for student loans to cover the cost of tuition. A student’s total financial
aid (including company sponsorship and all education loans) cannot exceed the cost of tuition.
If a student’s employer will pay 100% of tuition, then s/he is not eligible for student loans.
All payments for tuition must be made directly to UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School.
Students are responsible for paying tuition directly to UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School
since loans do not transfer directly to UNC Kenan-Flagler.
