MBA Scholarships

Scholarships and financial aid can be critical factors when it comes to embarking on your MBA. For this reason, we aim to make the process as simple and transparent as possible. When you submit your basic profile to our team, an admissions manager will get back to you swiftly, to discuss which scholarship you are eligible for.

Financing your MBA

Most candidates finance their MBA with a bank loan secured in their home country, but there is a range of options for other financial aid and scholarships that you could be eligible for.

Through our generous, transparent scholarship policy, your tuition fees can be reduced within a range of 20 to 40 percent.
