Loan Assistance Program
Recognizing the value of MBA talent to the public and nonprofit sectors, the Class of 2005 pledged its class gift of $502,593 USD to the School's Loan Assistance Program.
The program is designed to lessen the financial burden of repaying student loans while pursuing a career in the public or nonprofit sectors. The endowment established by the Class of 2005 provides funds to partially offset loan repayment and thus encourage MBAs to pursue management and leadership positions in the public and nonprofit sectors.
The Columbia Business School Loan Assistance Program reduces a portion of the educational loans carried by students who enter public and nonprofit sector jobs within five years of graduation.
