External funding options
Funding your MBA
IMD is committed to encouraging diversity within our full-time program by providing support and assistance to those who have the profile, but lack the financial means to complete the IMD MBA.
Lendwise, Splendit, Sallie Mae and Prodigy Finance are our loan providers as they offer student loans focusing on higher education at top schools. We also work with GradRight for Indian nationals.
Applications should ideally be submitted as soon as you are accepted into the program if you want to ensure timely disbursement for the third and fourth tuition installments. If you want to forecast your budget in advance, you might also be able to apply before being accepted.
Should you be unable to secure a loan based on nationality restrictions, please contact our Finance Committee and we will work with you to investigate alternative solutions.
