This commitment is what really counts – when you make the decision to study at Frankfurt School, your current financial situation shouldn’t be the factor that holds you back. At the same time, it is important to make sensible preparations for funding your studies.
Student finance is a complex issue, and needs careful, long-term planning. So take advantage of our advisory service and start your preparations by asking us for a personal consultation.

Once you have been admitted to the The Frankfurt MBA programme, we ask that you make a tuition fee deposit of 5,000 Euros to secure your place on the programme. Your remaining fees will be paid in regular instalments at the beginning of each semester.
Frankfurt School Scholarship
A limited number of MBA scholarships are available to encourage applications from candidates from any discipline or background with an outstanding academic or business track record.
All scholarship decisions are merit-based, although financial hardship may also be taken into consideration in special cases. Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee and decisions are final. Scholarships will only be awarded to cover tuition fees and will be deducted from the total tuition amount. No funds are available to cover living expenses.
External Scholarships & Loans
Several German and international organisations offer competitive scholarships for outstanding students:
Klaus-Peter Müller Scholarship
The Klaus-Peter Müller scholarship was introduced through the generous sponsorship from Professor Dr. h.c. Klaus-Peter Müller, chairman of Commerzbank AG and honorary chairman of the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management foundation, who donated €1 million to support full-time Masters and MBA students.
The Klaus-Peter Müller scholarship will be awarded to full-time Master students who are not able to self-fund their studies and have performed exceptionally well throughout their previous studies, both academically and personally.
The first step in applying for our programme is the completion of our online application, which includes uploading the following required documentation in support of your application:
Required Documents
After reviewing your application documents, we will invite qualified candidates to participate in a personal interview with a faculty member of Frankfurt School. The purpose of the interview is to gain a better understanding of your character, personality, expectations, motivations and goals. We can arrange telephone or Skype interviews for those applicants who are unable to join us for an Assessment Centre in Frankfurt.
The final decision regarding admissions into our MBA programme will be based on a combination of the candidate’s academic qualifications, English language abilities, admissions test score, case study essay, work experience and interview results. Admission results are generally announced within 2-4 weeks after your interview.
The Frankfurt MBA begins in early October. All students are expected to be at Frankfurt School on the first day of the programme. For non-EU applicants who require a visa to enter Germany, please keep in mind that it can take up to two or three months to obtain the necessary student visa.
