All applicants are considered for merit-based fellowships, which are the only type of “gift” aid offered by the University. Student loan options are available for U.S. citizens and permanent residents* and international students* 
    *Please note, tuition is updated yearly and the information provided here may not always match current tuition information.

    How do I know if I received a fellowship?

    A: Candidates are notified at the time of admission if selected for a fellowship award. Fellowships are awarded for the duration of the 2-year program (as long as fellowship criteria is met) and no new fellowship awards are given to students in the second year of the program.

    Am I eligible to use military benefits?

    A: UNC-Chapel Hill, including UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School, is approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs as a training facility for students receiving military education benefits. We are proud participants in the Yellow Ribbon Program for students who don’t qualify for in-state tuition. We support the Post 9/11 GI Bill. And, we comply with the Veterans Choice Act.

    To confirm your eligibility for Yellow Ribbon benefits, apply for financial support through the VA to secure a Certificate of Eligibility. Once you’re admitted to UNC Kenan-Flagler, you’ll submit your Certificate of Eligibility and Yellow Ribbon Application to our MBA Veterans Affairs Specialist.

    If you have questions about military benefits, please contact our MBA Veterans Affairs Specialist, Karsen Spain at 919-962-0117 or kfveteransaffairs@kenan-flagler.unc.edu.

    How much is the tuition for the Full-Time MBA program?

    A: UNC-Chapel Hill and Kenan-Flagler Business School is a public institution and has two tuition rates based on your North Carolina residency status. For more information about tuition rates, please visit our website.

    How do I qualify for North Carolina in-state tuition?

    A: If you believe that you qualify as a North Carolina resident under state law, you’ll need to submit a residency application with the North Carolina Residency Determination Services (RDS), a government agency. All residency decisions, and appeals, are determined by RDS.

    International Students

    Who do I contact if I have questions about the visa process, I-20, or anything related to paperwork for international students?

    A: Please email the International Student and Scholar Services office at isss@unc.edu for more information and with any visa-related questions.

    How can I pay for my enrollment deposit via Flywire?

    A: UNC has partnered with Flywire to streamline the process of international payments. Flywire allows you to pay securely from any country and any bank, generally in your home currency. You can make your Full-Time MBA deposit payment using Flywire on the UNC website. After you pay the deposit, please send a copy of your receipt to mba_info@unc.edu and you will be marked as enrolled in the class. Because we cannot see Flywire payments, you must send a confirmation in order to confirm your seat.

    Please note, this service is for international payments only.
