Alumni Referral Program and Financial Aid
Alumni Referral Program
With over 90,000 living alumni across the globe, William & Mary's alumni network continues to be one of its largest resources. William & Mary's Raymond A. Mason School of Business wants to put that resource to work to help continue to recruit top applicants to the Master of Accounting (MAcc) program.
To participate in this new program, William & Mary alumni can refer an interested student to the Master of Accounting program by completing the online form. Students who are referred and apply will receive a $5,000 Alumni Referral Scholarship upon acceptance. To be eligible for the scholarship award, the Alumni Office must receive the alumni referral before the student submits an application.
The Details:
- Students who are referred and apply will receive a $5,000 Alumni Referral Scholarship upon acceptance.
- Participating alumni can refer up to three students per academic term (spring and fall).
- Accepted students can only receive one scholarship per year, regardless of the number of referrals they receive.
- A student cannot receive a referral by a close family member (parent, grandparent, or sibling) or a faculty member who teaches in the William & Mary MAcc program.
- To be eligible for the scholarship award, the Alumni Office must receive the alumni referral before the student submits an application.
- The Office of Admissions will keep referrals on file only for the academic term to which the student applies.
For questions about the referral program, contact Alumni Relations at [[m|alumnirelations]].

Financial Aid
We offer several opportunities for students to off-set costs associated with the MAcc degree program. Loan eligibility for U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents is determined by the information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is submitted to the U.S. Department of Education.
Loans for International Students
International applicants interested in student loan programs should investigate private loan programs in their home countries as well as in the U.S.
William & Mary's Office of Financial Aid has information available on its website for private loans for international students who have access to a qualified co-signer. William & Mary has strong partnerships with Prodigy Finance, MPower Finance, and FIDERH. We encourage international candidates to explore global loan funding through these organizations.
For questions related to Financial Aid, please contact the Business School's Financial Aid Counselor at William & Mary's central financial aid office.
