Top 5 MBA for Military Applicants (By Class Percentage)

Emory Goizueta's Military MBA stands tall with an exclusive military personnel only Master’s program. 

The full-time Emory Goizueta program waives the application price for US military members.

Applications for deployed military personnel are acceptable beyond the regular deadlines, and if the military branch delays the admittance of the student, a one-year deferment is available that facilitates high representation of the military personnel. 

Duke Fuqua is next, at 19%. The school draws a significant number of veterans by offering application waivers and funding such as Yellow Ribbon scholarship support of up to $18,000 per VA academic year.

In addition, the VA matches up to $18,000 in extra funds for 100% of the qualifying students to use the Post-9/11 GI Bill, for a total of $36,000.

Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business with 19% Veterans share in the class provides additional fellowships, such as the Freedom Fellowships and Kenneth R. Meyer Fellowships, ranging from $10,000 per year to full tuition, contributing to the overall affordability of the program.

UT Austin's McCombs School contributes significantly with 14% of military veterans in the full-time MBA class as a result of additional financial aids, such as the Hazlewood Act, Non-Resident Tuition Waivers, waived application fees, and automatic merit-based admissions scholarships.

Ross completes the top five with 8% veteran representation attracted by Ross veteran’s benefit of in-state tuition status that saves $5,000 from their annual tuition fees. Additionally, the school supports veterans with comprehensive funding options, including external scholarships that range from $1,000 per month to a full tuition fee.
