I received a merit-based partial scholarship of $25k. Every school has different scholarships they can allocate that you are usually considered for automatically, but I’m not aware of any need-based aid for MBA. You will be eligible for graduate student loans if you complete the FAFSA, which can also cover the cost. If you are a diversity candidate check out The Consortium or Forte Foundation (also merit-based). I’m sure there are other scholarships as well.

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss.

Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.

Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
