The Financial Planning Worksheet will help you figure out any shortfall that you may have, which will allow you to brainstorm other sources of funding that you can tap into.

A paper version was included in the Financing Your MBA document in your admission offer package. A fillable PDF is also available on RWorld in the Forms section.

Once you have completed your Financial Planning Worksheet, submit it to the Program Services Office. It will be reviewed, and you will be contacted if there are any questions regarding your funding and expenses.

Deadline to submit the form is Monday, July 8, 2019.

The online Declaration of Need form is completed through the Pre-Program Portal under the “Submit Your Rotman Forms” Tab and serves the following purposes:

• Indicates to the Rotman School that the Professional Student Loan Plan (PSLP) loan is required to pay fees.
• Used by the Rotman School to confirm enrolment with the banks.
• Provides permission for the Rotman School and the bank indicated to communicate and share information for the purposes of registration status
• Unlocks loan so that you’re able to make your fees payment

The Declaration of Need is not required for pre-approval of the loan by the banks. Only a letter of offer of admission to the Rotman School is required. You can apply to the banks for a loan prior to submitting the Declaration of Need to the Rotman School.

The PSLP Terms and Conditions must be read and reviewed prior to submitting the Declaration of Need.

A confirmation email will be sent to your Rotman email address after you have successfully submitted your Declaration of Need.

Deadline for submission is Friday, August 30, 2019.
