Five Director’s Scholarships, each with a value of £4,000, are awarded to students from any country.

Eligibility
The Scholarships are open to applicants who have an excellent academic record and who are applying for admission onto the Full-time MBA or MBA in International Business in September 2011.

Although applications for scholarships should be made before either 30 April 2011, 31 May 2011 or 30 June 2011, the scholarships will only be awarded to applicants who have firmly accepted their offer through payment of the deposit. Applicants who are unsuccessful in applying for a Leadership Scholarship will be automatically considered for the 31 May 2011 deadline Director’s Scholarships.

Applicants who hold full sponsorships are not eligible for the scholarships.

If an applicant is successful in being awarded a scholarship, but subsequently declines their offer of admission on the MBA programme, the award of the scholarship will be withdrawn and awarded to another applicant.

Applying
Applicants should submit a 700 word essay, explaining why they feel they should be awarded a scholarship, and how the scholarship will benefit them.

This essay should accompany their application for the MBA programme.

The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of academic merit and the benefits to the student.

The decision will be made by a committee consisting of Directors and key staff from Admissions.
