While the funding may exist for many of our students, finding it often proves more difficult. There are a number of financial resources available to students of every nationality, which we refer to as independent grants. These monies are awarded by institutions that may, or may not, be affiliated with the Cox School of Business or SMU. We strongly recommend that you consult many of the resources for MBAs on the Internet, particularly www.finaid.org. This Web site provides outstanding information and resources regarding additional ways to fund your PMBA education.
