Tuition & Financing
A graduate management education is one of the most important investments you'll ever make, and it's likely to produce one of your biggest ROIs — you won't just boost your career and earning potential, but you'll reap personal gains, too. To offset the costs, you may be eligible for a Cox scholarship. You are automatically considered for scholarship at the time you are considered for admission. If you need additional funding, you'll find that a variety of loan and private scholarship opportunities are available.

Scholarships
Pursuing a graduate business degree, at a top-ranked private school, can be financially challenging, even while working full-time. At SMU Cox, we strive to make that experience a little more accessible and affordable. Through generous support from university organizations and endowments, as well as Cox alumni, we are able to offer merit-based scholarships to One Year MBA students.
SMU Cox offers a limited number of merit scholarships with awards up to $15,000. All scholarships are awarded based on individual achievement and recipients are selected on the basis of demonstrated academic achievement, performance on the GMAT/GRE, professional experience, and leadership potential. All applicants are automatically considered for merit scholarships during the application process.
MBA Loans and Additional Resources
