Pursuing the Walton MBA is an investment in your future, and we're committed to helping
you explore financing options. These include scholarship opportunities, graduate assistantships,
and loans.
Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistantships are a unique characteristic of the Walton MBA. Graduate assistantships
may be for two years or less. During the period a student holds a graduate assistantship,
he/she receives a complete tuition waiver and a stipend. In return, the student works
as an assistant for 20 hours a week. Several graduate assistantships are offered.
All admitted students are automatically considered for assistantships after they are
admitted to the program – no additional application required for assistantships. International
applicants are also eligible to receive graduate assistantships.
