MBA scholarships

London Business School Annual Fund ScholarshipsEach year, London Business School awards a number of Annual Fund Scholarships to the most outstanding MBA applicants joining the full-time MBA Programme. Usually awarded at the same time candidates are offered a place on the programme, these prestigious awards are based on academic and professional merit and the information supplied in the original MBA application. Last year 35 Annual Fund awards of up to £20,000 were made across 18 different nationalities.

Please note: Annual Fund scholarships are usually awarded to candidates who apply to the MBA Programme in Stage 1, 2 or 3 of the admissions process. We strongly recommend that if you wish to be considered for these scholarships, particularly the awards based on nationality, you apply as early as possible.

London Business School Donor Funded ScholarshipsMany of our scholarships are funded through the generosity of individual alumni and friends, reuniting classes, our corporate partners, foundations and student clubs. These scholarships are available to students starting the London Business School MBA in August 2009, who are not in receipt of corporate sponsorship.

Please note: Most Donor Funded scholarships require offered candidates to submit a separate scholarship application by 5pm, Monday 01 June, 2009. They are, therefore, only available to candidates who are offered a place on the MBA Programme in Stages 1, 2 or 3 of the admissions process. If you wish to apply for any of these awards you must apply for the programme by Stage 3 at the very latest. Details on how to apply will be made available to successful candidates following notification of acceptance. Scholarships are usually awarded in early June, and the Scholarships Committee aims to award as many scholarships as possible before the Reservation Fee deadline (19 June 2009). However, there may be some scholarships that are awarded after this deadline due to the number of applications we receive and the involvement of external committees.

The scholarships below will be awarded to students joining our class in August 2009 (please note we currently only have scholarships for first year students). In order to help you identify the awards most relevant to you, please use the links below:
