Tuition

Students are encouraged to assess the amount of financial resources they will need during their studies and plan accordingly. Please see William & Mary's Financial Aid office's estimate for total annual costs to assist you in planning your attendance in our program. Exact costs will vary based on your status and course of study. If you are currently serving as active duty military or think that you might qualify for in-state residency, please visit the William & Mary Domicile site to determine if you are eligible for Virginia residency for in-state residency for tuition purposes.

Alumni Referral Program

With over 90,000 living alumni across the globe, William & Mary's alumni network continues to be on 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 Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) program.

To participate in this new program, William & Mary alumni can refer an interested student to the MSBA 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 year (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 MSBA 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.

Financial Aid

We offer several opportunities for students to off-set costs associated with the MSBA 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.
