I know its not a popular practice but yet I tend to hear about the one off case of someone getting an MBA scholarship.

 

Is there a listing for that ?

@AliKhalid.

 

Funding for MBA's is remarkably low. However, if you are in the top 5% of the candidates applying you are usually eligible for whatever scholarships the University has to offer. Usually these tend to be partial tuition scholarships while some notable schools such as Haas do even offer full scholarships. But to win these scholarships you should have almost perfect GMAT scores and an almost perfect MBA application altogether.  A more relevant option might be Non Co-signer loans that top MBA schools offer. HBS, Stanford, Fuqua, Darden all offer such loans. After graduating from such top tier schools you can pay off your debt within a couple of years even and hence investigating such opportunities might be an option.

 

You can explore this Business Week list: "http://images.businessweek.com/slideshows/2013-02-26/most-generous-top-b-schools" if you want for more details regarding scholarships but scouring the "Funding your MBA" section of each B School might also be a good idea.

Ali Khalid, one way to get financial aid for MBA is to get graduate assistantship. Some universities offer GAships in which you have to work for 20 hours per week either with an administrative department or your school, and it covers partial or full tuition. The schedule does become hectic due to full-time course load and weekly work commitment but it is a good way to finance MBA program. There are few RAships available as well but they are rare for the MBA programs. GAships are mostly inclined towards professional administrative work which also counts as work experience later.
