## Types of Sponsorship

There are two different types of sponsorship. 1. **Time Sponsorship:** your employer’s acknowledgment and support of the time you will be required to be out of the office to attend classes and complete your MBA.

This is a **required** component of our formal application. The online application includes a Sponsorship Form that must be signed by your employer.

***Required time out of the office includes:***

- All class days (approximately two Fridays and Saturdays per month for 22 months)
- 2 one-week residency periods
- One local residency in Year 1
- One Global Study Tour in Year 1
- (Students who elect the Global Study Tour in Year 2 require an additional one-week residency.)

(Available calendars for the first academic year of the program are [here](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/executive-mba/academics/schedule-calendars).)

2. **Financial Sponsorship:** the portion, if any, of the program’s cost that will be covered by your employer.

Financial sponsorship is **not required** to apply.
