Hi, my name is Heather Jackson, and I am not supposed to be at Harvard Business School. No, I don’t mean I was an ‘admissions mistake’ (though every single admit, myself included, has thought this countless times). I mean, by every possible statistic, I shouldn’t be here. I grew up in a low-income single-parent household in rural Kentucky - I am talking about a town of 4,000 people and one incredible Betty’s OK Country Cooking restaurant with an out-of-this-world catfish buffet. My parents did not graduate from college, neither did anyone in my family or most other families I knew. Growing up, I did not have any idea what an MBA was or why anyone would need one. [...]

Veteran Financial Aid Outlook

I have some good news and some bad news. First, the bad news: Graduate School might not be “free” after all. I know, this smacks in the face of everything I was told when I was a Cadet and Junior Officer. Unless you are participating in GrADSO or PB-GSIP for the Army, other cool programs our sister services have, or fulfilling a pre-assignment requirement to teach at one of the Service Academies or to be a strategist, my advice is to brace yourself for some loans. This is not unique to Harvard, though. Remember that VA allowable tuition and fees are a subset of the tuition and fees actually charged. Now the good news: After going through the full-time MBA program at HBS (even with the Coronavirus disruption and finishing my last quarter on-line), I don’t think I could put a price on the education and experiences I received.

Myth Busting: Financial Aid for 2+2 Students

Myth Busting: Financial Aid for 2+2 Students

Admissions Staff Author MBA Admissions

  • Financial Aid
While HBS Admissions is merit-based, HBS Financial Aid is need-based, made possible by the generous support of our alumni. Because our process is a bit unique, there are often some misperceptions when it comes to our financial aid, especially for our 2+2 admitted students. We wanted to clear up some myths surrounding the process. [...]
