Hi--
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, business schools are not cheap and your budget seems a bit on the small side.
But fear not! I don't have tuition data for every business school in the world but can tell you this:
- State universities, especially in Europe, are often good as well as cheap.
- If you are a very good student, you can often get scholarships or tuition reductions.
- At some programs, you can work as a teaching assistant (which means that you get paid and get a tuition break, at least at UCLA where I went).
- You can always work part-time, even if offically it isn't recommended (note: get creative on this: you can consult, you can teach GMAT for Kaplan, you can deliver pizzas, you can tend bar or wait tables...really, anything to make a buck and keep yourself afloat works. Remember: any honest work is admirable so don't think anything is beneath you or irrelevant to your career).
- You can REALLY save costs: don't buy a car, don't eat out, drink beer instead of wine, etc., etc. The point here is: money saved on living expenses counts just as much as money saved on tuition.
Good Luck--
Paxton
