Scholarships

Scholarship funding for the Flex MBA program is limited and minimal, and awards are determined through a holistic review of each applicant’s past academic performance, professional achievements, leadership potential, and financial context. Awards are made through select Olin School–based funding sources, including the Dean’s Scholarship. Applicants who require scholarship consideration are strongly encouraged to apply early. An optional, short essay explaining the need for scholarship support may be requested as part of the review process.

US Military/Veteran Awards
All admitted applicants who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces are considered for Olin Veterans Association Fellowships. In addition, WashU proudly supports the Post-9/11 GI Bill and is a full participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs determines candidates’ eligibility for this benefit.

Outside Funding Sources
