Funding Your One-Year MBA

An MBA from the Chaifetz School’s unique, full-time program is an investment in your future. But our Jesuit mission inspires us and our donors to do everything we can to make our world-class business education accessible. That means unlike many business schools, we offer scholarships to help you defray the cost of your degree so you can realize a return on your investment even sooner.

Chaifetz School Merit Scholarships

All applicants to the Chaifetz School of Business One-Year MBA program are automatically considered for merit scholarship awards with their application for admission. Award decisions are made based on prior academic performance and professional work experience. Chaifetz School Merit Scholarship awards offer an average of $12,000  in financial support and are made at the time of admission to assist students in making informed decisions about their education. 

Ignatian Service Fellowship

The Ignatian Service Fellowship offers $20,000 tuition scholarships to One-Year MBA students who previously completed a full term of service with Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC), Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest (JVC NW), Catholic Volunteer Network, AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, Teach for America or other approved volunteer service organization. Fellows also receive a paid internship working in the St. Louis community with the opportunity to earn up to $4,800 and focus their consulting work as part of the program on nonprofit or community issues. The Ignatian Service Fellowship may be combined with competitive donor scholarships from the Chaifetz School, but cannot be combined with Chaifetz School merit scholarship awards.
