Study Financing
Definition
Study financing encompasses all options for funding a degree program. For MBA programs, various sources are available: scholarships (merit-based, need-based, diversity), education loans (KfW, aws, cantonal banks), employer sponsorship (partial or full cost coverage), tax deductibility (as business expenses or professional development costs), installment plans at the university, and personal savings. Combining multiple financing sources is common and recommended.
Example: "Her study financing combines an employer subsidy, a scholarship and own funds."
