Military Friendly MBA

Leverage your experience with a Texas A&M MBA

Your military experience combined with an MBA from Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School provides you with a competitive advantage, whether you are separating from the military or seeking accelerated advancement for your continuing career in the armed forces.

As a university and a community, Texas A&M is an excellent fit for military personnel wishing to pursue their MBA. Founded in 1876 as a military academy, Texas A&M has a proud, long-standing tradition of association with the military. Though no longer a military academy, Texas A&M still maintains one of the nation’s largest ROTC programs outside the service academies.

Our community, the twin cities of College Station and Bryan, Texas, is a military-friendly community with many veterans residing in the area.

If you’ve ever met another Aggie, you understand the loyalty and devotion our former students hold for their alma mater. That loyalty and devotion also translates into an invaluable alumni network that will serve you as a student in the MBA program and throughout your career.

A supportive environment

At the Full-Time MBA Program, we value the unique contributions veterans and those serving in the military bring to our program.

• No application fee: Mays Business School will pay the application fee for any military personnel who have been on active duty within the past three years. Our application is available online.
• Scholarships available: All current and former military personnel receive full consideration for scholarships and graduate assistantship awards. The Full-Time MBA Program is widely known as a cost effective option for management education with reasonable tuition rates and strong scholarship support. Additionally, any scholarship from the MBA program grants the recipient resident tuition status, a savings of nearly $16,000.
• Funding for military: In addition to scholarships from the MBA program, veterans may also qualify for the following programs at Texas A&M University:
  • Hazlewood Act - Texas residents who served in the armed forces may qualify for the Hazlewood Act, a benefit that pays the tuition and some fees for former military
  • John and Betty Potthoff Endowed Scholarship in Business - A Mays Business School scholarship reserved for veterans or children of veterans

• Military friendly: Every year, the Full-Time MBA Program proudly enrolls several veterans and active duty personnel. Texas A&M also has an active student organization for veterans, the Texas A&M Veterans Association.
