Financing your EMBA may be a challenge. Below you will find a list of financial aid possibilities currently available. Since it is impossible to list every opportunity here, we suggest researching financial assistance offered from your own country. The information on RSM Scholarships may be reviewed and updated throughout the year, and are offered discretionary by the RSM Scholarship Awards Committee. If you are a recipient of our financial aid, you will be informed by an Admissions Manager at the time of the final decision of your application. The value is given as a tuition fee waiver and will be deducted from the final EMBA tuition fee instalment. Please revisit this part of our website for any amendments to our scholarship offerings. Candidates that secure company sponsorship for the EMBA programme are not eligible for a scholarship award.

MBA students in Germany who are self financing their programme may be able to deduct tuition fees from the income tax they pay within Germany.
Our Executive MBA qualifies for the Dutch government's DUO lifelong learning loan (levenlanglerenkrediet).
The amount you can borrow depends on the tuition fee and your age category. You can borrow at a low interest rate and repay the loan over a period of up to 15 years, with repayments starting two years after graduation. For full detail, please visit the official DUO website.
Even if your employer does not have a formal training budget, they can cover your tuition by temporarily reducing your gross salary. On a net basis, this usually means you pay only about half of the tuition cost.
Note: This arrangement may temporarily reduce your pension contributions.
If you are leaving your company with a severance payment, you can ask your employer to allocate part of it directly toward your tuition. This approach is tax-efficient and can reduce your net cost by roughly half.
Scholarships are available. For more information on financial assistance possibilities, please contact our EMBA Recruitment & Admissions team who will be happy to discuss the opportunities with you.
