Tips to Help You Save on Tuition

Scholarships

Invest in your future with help from WTAMU’s generous scholarship support. Each year, hundreds of graduate business students receive awards based on merit, need, or both. Whether you’re full-time or part-time, scholarships can significantly reduce your MBA costs and make a nationally ranked education even more affordable and accessible.
