University of Alberta – MBA Awards & Financial Aid

Affordable Education, Real Support

The Alberta MBA delivers exceptional value: high-quality instruction and career development, with tuition well below other top Canadian business schools. Last year alone, over CAD 1 million was awarded in entrance awards, scholarships, and bursaries to support students financially.

Entrance Awards

All admitted full-time students are automatically considered for entrance awards—no separate application needed. These awards recognize academic merit and are valued at up to CAD 15,000.

In-Program Scholarships

Additional scholarships are available during the MBA program to acknowledge excellence both in and outside the classroom. Applications for these are issued directly to students by the MBA Scholarship Committee.

Bursaries & Additional Support

Need-based bursaries—MBAs Differential Bursaries—are offered for students facing financial challenges, including both admission-time and ongoing support options. International and domestic students are also eligible for university-wide bursaries funded by private donors.
