FUNDING: An additional year at SEAS doesn’t necessarily equate to more debt for average Erb students. Erb students have access to more funding opportunities than the traditional MBA student through Erb directly, as well as Ross, SEAS and Rackham. Many Erb students have also served as GSIs, which allows them to waive tuition for the term. Selection into the Dow Fellows program awards $20K per student. Project Funding: Erb Institute dual-degree students have the opportunity to drive business sustainability impact, build their capacity, and network to further their career goals through Impact Project and Partnership Project funding. Erb Institute students are invited to design bold, high-impact initiatives for Impact Project funding to support self-directed learning and career-focused experiences.
