Making the MBA More Affordable, Together

Making the MBA More Affordable, Together

Affording an MBA can be one of the most challenging parts of pursuing the degree. When Nikhil Agarwal and Chris Abkarians were accepted to Harvard Business School, they were faced with a steep tuition bill and limited loan options. Instead of accepting high interest rates, they organized 700 students from 10 schools to negotiate better terms as a group, saving their classmates an average of ~$15,000 each.

That effort became the foundation for Juno, created to use the power of collective bargaining to help students access fairer loan options.

Today, Juno has helped more than 230,000 members find lower-cost graduate loans by negotiating directly with lenders on their behalf. The company has facilitated over $1.3 billion in student loans and continues to focus on making higher education more affordable for everyone, at no cost to its members.
