FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Financing your investment in the future
The IEDC Executive MBA program is not just an investment in participants and their career - it is also an investment that a company makes into its competitive viability. Many participants are supported by their companies, while the rest pay the tuition fee individually, either by installments or by taking a loan.
- Corporate Sponsorship
By investing in their executives, the companies increase their pool of well-trained managers able to successfully face competitive challenges. This is why many of them support their executives, either financially (fully or partially) or through time commitments, or both. Sending a manager to an Executive MBA program can give a company a manager with
- a better understanding of business challenges
- an integrated and structured approach to managing business
- a solid foundation in functional management
- improved managerial and leadership skills
- an increased ability to manage change
- greater self-confidence
- international exposure
- more business and network contacts
- Payment by Installments
All participants may choose to pay the tuition fee either in one sum at the start of the program or by installments that spread the costs over a duration that is acceptable to both the school and the participant. If payment is made in installments, there is an additional charge of 1,000 euro.
- Loan Financing
Participants not sponsored by their companies often qualify for loans or other forms of financial aid.
- Scholarship funds: a number of institutions is providing scholarship or loans for Master studies, including the Slovenian Human Resource Development and Scholarship Fund: http://www.sklad-kadri.si/
- Loans for citizens of the Republic of Slovenia for studies in Slovenia and abroad:Po novem skladovi krediti tudi za študij doma
