International Students
With over thirty percent of the student body comprised of international students, the Darden School is committed to helping our international students find solutions to meeting the financial requirements necessary to obtain an MBA at Darden.
There are several two-year, merit-based scholarships available to international students. Learn more about the international merit-based scholarship descriptions.
International students can also apply for third-party loans to meet the cost of attendance. In order to borrow money, the amount to be borrowed must be listed on the request for I-20. No loans will be allowed to students who have not declared their intention and full value they intend to borrow on their application for I-20 prior to having been issued a visa by the US Embassy.
The University of Virginia Request for Form I-20 must be completed and submitted by international students after they are admitted to Darden and choose to matriculate. Do not submit the Request for Form I-20 with the application for admission; it has no bearing on admission decisions. Request for Form I-20 will not be reviewed until after the post-admission commitment fee of $1,000 has been received.
International students are not eligible for Federal loans during either year. Therefore, there is no reason for international students to submit a University of Virginia Darden Application for Financial Aid or Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
