Executive MHA Finances

Worksheet of Estimated EMHA Program Expenses

Tuition and Related Fees

The 2011-2012 (autumn-summer) first-year tuition for students entering the Executive MHA Program in Autumn 2011 is $743 per credit. For additional explanation of expenses, see the worksheet linked above.

Parking at the classroom site in Bellevue is free.

Tuition includes some coverage of discretionary expenses for student-related activities (such as orientation, graduation, special events).

All fees, including tuition, and credit loads are subject to change.

Annual tuition increases are expected each autumn quarter and will affect both incoming and continuing students.

Tuition payments are paid directly to UW Professional & Continuing Education (PCE) and are due, in-full, prior to the official UW start date of each quarter. As credit loads for each quarter vary, quarterly tuition totals will vary. Specific details and instructions regarding registration, tuition payment, and related fees and deadlines are distributed by the MHA Program staff, typically 4-6 weeks in advance of each quarter.

Enrollment Confirmation Deposit

Upon accepting an offer of admission to the MHA Program, prospective students must pay a $250 enrollment confirmation deposit. This deposit is non-refundable; however, it will be applied to your tuition once you have enrolled. Because it is applied to your tuition, it is not included as a separate item in the estimate of expenses.

Financial Aid

Federal Aid: Executive MHA students may apply for federal financial aid (low-interest student loans). For information on federal financial aid, how to apply (FAFSA-Free Application for Federal Student Aid), applicable deadlines, etc., visit the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) web site at http://www.washington.edu/students/osfa/graduate. In particular, see the links for "Graduate Student." If you have additional questions about the process or form after reviewing the web site, please contact OSFA at osfa@u.washington.edu or 206-543-6101.

Tuition Exemptions and Other Aid: Students in self-sustaining programs are not eligible for aid funded by state tuition revenue. These include the tuition exemption program for UW and WA State employees, the Graduate University Grant, and institutional tuition waivers.

Other Sources of Support

The Grants and Funding Information Service (GFIS), located in Suzzallo Library, assists UW graduate students in their search for information about financial opportunities available outside the University of Washington. You may contact them at:
