The MBA Fund 2025-2026
On A Mission Together
The MBA Fund sustains excellence in teaching and student life, while also providing support for emerging and critical needs. It is vital to the school’s operations - accounting for 11% of the annual budget - and every dollar raised is used during the year it is received.
While tuition covers approximately 78% of the cost of an MBA education, the MBA Fund and the Endowment together make up the difference - more than $7,500 per student this year.
Your gift to the MBA Fund provides the margin for excellence that defines the MBA experience, ensuring that boys at MBA are challenged, inspired, and supported throughout their journey.

Support from the MBA Fund touches nearly every aspect of student life, including:
- Faculty salaries and professional development

Every gift—no matter the size—helps strengthen the daily experience of every boy on The Hill.
