I plan to get a MBA in either US or Europe, how do you normally fund this if you don't have a scholarship?

I understand that it can cost between $50k to $150k per MBA program which lasts between 10 to 12 months. Wondering how normal people fund this or do they do it on their own?

Hi Kenneth,

Most of the folks I know when through those routes to study in US or in Europe,

Loan
Self-Funded
Company-Funded

Prodigy Finance is a popular student loan provider that I have been hearing of (I have no affiliated link or whatsoever) for some INSEAD MBA students whether in Singapore or in France.

Rare are the institutions who will provide bond-free, interest-free scholarships / financial assistance, but they might exist.

The other way is to self-fund by dipping in your savings and/or building your dividend-paying portfolio, which you could also, technically, borrow a loan against.

Last resort, why do you want to do an MBA in the first place?

Happy to share more resources with you in private

Cheers,

Would it be worth it to get a scholarship to fund your full-time studies and take on more stress; or would you rather study part-time and work to fund your part-time studies instead?

On ISP: Should I choose the 50% cheaper class A ward plan, or should I get myself insured against public hospitals altogether? I'm 24 and can comfortably afford either, and am ok with the coverages of both plans, just worried about inefficiency.?

If I plan to invest in the S&P500 which ETF index fund should I buy in the US stock market?

Partner is earning lesser than myself and his saving is less than $5k. We plan to get married in 2 years time. Should I contribute more towards the marriage fund or should it be equal?

I made travel plans to Europe in March and bought Tiq travel insurance, would insurance cover for my tickets if the Wuhan outbreak gets serious?
