There are two basic types of business school grants: grants that are awarded by a business school and grants that are awarded by the federal government.

Federal Grants
There’re a startling number of business school grants available through the federal government. Characteristically these grants go by names like the Federal Pell Grant and the Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant.

As well as the availability, the size of these grants can vary depending on the time you apply, your level of need and other factors.

MBA students have no rights for any of the broad-based grants available from the federal government; these grants are only awarded to undergraduate students.

School Grants
