Discover Custom Graduate Loan
An easier way to finance your MBA.
In an effort to make a Simon degree more accessible to top global talent, the School has made available a Custom Graduate Loan by Discover for full-time MBA students that does not require a co-signer. These loans are not made by Simon Business School or the University of Rochester, but are made by Discover.
The Discover Custom Graduate Loan has a competitive interest rate and will cover up to the full MBA program tuition cost minus other financial aid. Discover has a simple online application process and will provide full customer support during the loan application process.
For more details and information regarding this program, visit the loan program page or view the FAQs below.

Yes, you can use the provisional approval letter as proof of funds toward your financial support.
Do not worry. The provisional approval is all you need for proof of financial support for your I-20, and you will not be required to upload a copy of your I-20 to your loan application until after you receive it from the University of Rochester. Once received, you can then upload it to fulfill the document requirement.
Discover Custom Graduate Loan is available to cover tuition (less any other financial aid), but it is not available to cover student fees or living expenses. We encourage students to identify other sources of funding to cover personal expenses.
