Questions?

Pursuing a business education while managing work and other commitments can be challenging. And we understand that affording your education can add an extra layer of complexity to an already busy lifestyle. That’s why Carey Business School has various financial options for part-time students to consider, such as scholarships, employer tuition assistance, and private loans. Part-time students have unique circumstances, and financial aid can be tailored to help you achieve your academic and career goals without a barrier. 

Part-time students at Carey can plan to work directly with Johns Hopkins’ Office of Student Enrollment and Account Management, or SEAM, to navigate the financial aid process.

Scholarship opportunities

Scholarships at Carey are designed to recognize academic achievement, leadership potential, and the diverse experiences that our students bring to our community, so every student has the opportunity to thrive. Scholarships are offered for all academic programs where Carey is the home school. If you are an applicant enrolling in a dual degree program with the School of Nursing or Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, please refer to their instructions for financial aid.

When applying to Carey, all part-time students are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships, particularly our Dean’s Scholarship. There are additional scholarship opportunities available to some part-time students including:

• MBA scholarship opportunities (look for awards available for Flexible MBA students)
• Endowed scholarships for both MBA and Master of Science students
• Reaching Out MBA Fellowships for Flexible MBA and Design Leadership MA/MBA students (separate application required)

Employer-based tuition assistance

Many students at Carey receive employer-based tuition remission or tuition reimbursement. Students receiving tuition reimbursement should plan to pay all tuition and fees upon registration and follow their employer’s procedures for reimbursement. Those sponsored by external organizations who will pay the tuition bill directly must submit documents each semester by the deadline. Learn more on SEAM’s Third Party Payments webpage.

Types of assistance

Students can take advantage of federal aid and private loans to help alleviate the cost of tuition. Federal work study and private scholarships are additional aid options. Scholarships are funds that do not need to be paid back, while loans must be paid back within a specified time period. To learn more about the types of assistance you may qualify for, please refer to SEAM’s Types of Aid webpage.

Financial aid process

To begin the financial aid process, consider watching the FAFSA tutorial video, which outlines how to complete the FAFSA form to apply for federal student aid including federal grants, work-study funds, and loans. If you have any additional questions about the FAFSA form, please visit the SEAM website.   

You can request financial aid support though SEAM’s online form or by visiting SEAM’s contact information webpage for additional options. 

Payment plans and methods

Carey offers students two payment plan options to pay their tuition and fees. Please refer to Payment Schedule A and  Payment Schedule B for the current options. Any questions about payment plans should be directed to SEAM.

Carey allows various payment methods for students to pay for their education including electronic checks, checks by mail, sponsor or employer contract, Johns Hopkins University tuition assistance, wire transfers, or Nelnet Campus Commerce monthly payment plans. 

For more information about payment plans and methods, please visit SEAM’s Payment Methods webpage. 

Deadlines and timelines

It’s important that you submit your financial aid application by the priority filing deadline. The priority filing date to apply for financial aid each year is April 15 for part-time programs. For spring only applicants, the priority filing date to apply for financial aid is November 1.

Students can apply for financial aid at any time during the academic year, prior to the end of classes. However, the application process can take time, and only those who apply by the priority filing date can be assured that their financial aid awards will be ready for the start of classes. Maryland residents who wish to be considered for Maryland state scholarships must complete their FAFSA prior to March 1.
