Do you already have a job with a company? If not, yes, there are a number of companies that do just what you are asking. Many of the bigger companies are more than happy to pay for a masters degree. After you graduate from undergrad, and you are looking for employment, make sure to ask companies about such programs.

Well, PhD you won't have to worry about. Most PhD programs in engineering will fully fund students, meaning that you go there tuition free, plus get a small stipend. Usually you have to work as a teaching or research assistant to have this happen, but most do. It's a good deal. Masters, that depends. Some grad schools offer funding to students in their masters programs, others do not. I don't know how you'd get some company you have no relationship with to fund your studies. However, a lot of companies provide tuition reimbursement if you work for them full time, and go to school part time. That can help a lot.

MBA in finance is a misnomer. Schools grant the MBA degree, not MBA in pharmacy, or MBA in finance, or MBA in marketing. The MBA is a general broad degree that prepares students for high level management positions. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, statistics, management, economics, strategy, policy, leadership, and similar courses. Most MBA programs accept students with any undergraduate degree. MBA programs prefer students whose undergraduate degree is not business related. they provide the management skills but they can't give you the broad background that managers should have. The MBA is in contrast to the MS degree which concentrates on courses in a single field and trains students to reach higher levels of knowledge in their specialty so that they can serve as better staff and researchers, with no intention of becoming high level managers. MS programs typically require an undergraduate degree in the field in which you want the MS. For an MS in accounting you need an accounting degree, not a degree in history, or music. For an MS in Music you need a music degree, not a degree in finance. Although MBA programs may offer concentrations in specific fields in the second year, the emphasis in all MBA programs is on a broad range of courses. The specialization may amount to 2-3 elective courses in a field in the second year of the MBA program. Students who want to concentrate in a specific field and train for a staff position should seek an MS degree rather than an MBA. Consult the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

Doubtful. Most schools require you to have a 3.0 to just be eligible for graduate programs, this is because most schools require a student to maintain a 3.0 so they aren't dropped from the program.
