Financial aid for MBA Program in Germany

I am sorry to say that, but you seem to have the wrong expectations!

Firstly, studying in Germany is free for basic degrees taught in German, and for some advanced degrees. But in some states. non-EU students have to pay a fee even for basic degrees. And courses taught in English are almost never free.

Furthermore, MBAs are seen as optional add-ons for people with work experience and thus always cost. I know of no scholarships available for MBA students, but you can inquire at the school of your choice for the options.

On top of that, living in Germany is not cheap. You cannot expect to work besides your studies and earn your living - only a small top-up income is possible if you take your (full-time) studies seriously.

Edited to add: Is your "nursing dploma" just recognised as such, or is it seen as equivalent to a university degree (e.g. Bachelor)? You need the latter to enter a Master degree course like MBA.

I just checked your previous posts.

In them, you indicate that your "diploma" is recognised a equivalent to  German "Ausbildung" in nursing. This is not sufficient to enter a Master degree course (or university at all)!

Also, you said that your German language skills are at B1 (soon B2) level. You need C1 to enter a German-taught course.

I think you have more than the financial aspect to worry about here!

Agree with what Beppi wrote. To do a master one needs a bachelor. No exceptions. An Ausbildung or vocational training is not the equivalent of a bachelor. Having such training might not even be enough to be accepted to a bachelor program without some remedial classes especially since nursing and business are not the same field. And one needs B2 level German to either do such an Ausbildung or to legally work as a nurse in Germany. How is one working as a nurse if they don’t yet have the legal minimum level of German? 

Bachelors at public universities are tuition-free even for non-EU students except in Baden-Württemberg where one pays 1500 euros/semester tuition. Then there are always additional fees, usually a couple hundred euros/month and living expenses. Nearly all bachelors are taught in German on at least a B2 if not C1 level. One’s offered in English are almost always at private (expensive) facilities. 

Nearly all masters have tuition for non-EU citizens. For subjects like business they are often up to 8000 euros/semester. And yes that is at public universities. Degrees at private unis always have tuition for everyone. Claims on social media that all education in German is free or usually offered in English are both false.

Hi. Just FYI, if you are American, I believe that you should be able to get student loans/financial aid via the American government for your MBA, upwards of $20,000 per year, depending on your financial situation/need. As long as the university is certified. If you need to get a Bachelors first, you can also get financial aid. I think up to $12,000 or maybe $15,000 per year, I think. There are some English speaking universities in Germany and in the rest of Europe.

Not sure if  an American can really get such loans to study abroad but as the poster is South African and not American it is irrelevant. One should always check a profile for such basic info. And any unversity in Europe that is exclusively teaching in English is obviously a private (expensive) one. Many masters programs in German public universities are  offered in English but not bachelors. But then such masters are rarely tuition-free for non-EU students as bachelors usually are.
