Wharton MBA Financial Aid and Tuition

An organization (i.e. public or private sector sponsor including military agencies, educational institutions, international embassies, or state prepaid tuition programs) can commit to pay your educational expenses. The University of Pennsylvania will bill outside organizations (sponsors) by preparing a separate invoice listing your tuition, fees, and other charges. Third Party sponsorships count in the determination of student loan amount eligibility. Fellowship funding may also reduce the amount of sponsorship funding a student may receive based on funding restrictions.

We encourage all students to explore scholarship opportunities made available by companies, clubs, organizations, and/or corporations with whom they may be affiliated.

The Yellow Ribbon Program (YRB) is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. Wharton offers grant funds through the Yellow Ribbon Program for veterans and is committed to funding all students who are 100% eligible under the Post-9/11 GI Bill®.  You can find details and eligibility guidelines for the Post-9/11 benefits, including the Yellow Ribbon Program, at www.gibill.va.gov.

If you are on active duty or are a veteran, we will waive your application fee; Please call the financial aid office (215) 898-8728 when you’re ready to submit your application.

Eligible applicants may receive a maximum Yellow Ribbon Award of up to $23,000. The Dept. of Veteran Affairs (VA) will match the award amount that we grant. If you are eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program, you must indicate Yellow Ribbon eligibility by submitting a VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to Student Registration and Financial Services.
