I will say 80-100k just because I will pay for tuition with loans and wont be touching too much savings. My wife will be working and she should cover most our living expenses. Things like trips will come out of pocket and those definitely will add up, I mean Kwest is going to cost us about 4k because its two of us going.
I got some money from Kellogg but I am searching for private scholarships from my desired industry. Unfortunately those arent available to apply to for another few months, I have talked to a couple HR people and was told almost all scholarships for advanced degrees in my field go to masters of engineering students but I was told if they were to give one out to an MBA student it would be to someone in a top program...I was basically told that people never even try to apply for scholarships for MBAs from them so its work a shot but they werent sure how it would work out. I wont hold my breath but it would be nice. Some of them are pretty much fellowships where they pay you pretty good stipends too.
I was told that some people who intern in the city and are going to the company post grad also occasionally continue working for the company during the year for a day a week which would help give a little spending money. I guess if you arent recruiting you will have a lot more free time.

If I don't respond to a PM that is not one of the previously mentioned trash can destined messages, please don't take it personally I get so many messages I have a hard to responding to most. The more interesting, compelling, or humorous you message the more likely I am to respond.
