Southampton Business School Emerging Market Future Leader MBA International Scholarship

These scholarships of £10,000 are available to international students from ‘emerging markets' who are studying for the Master of Business Administration (MBA). One scholarship is available for a student from each of the following regions:

• South East Asia
• the Middle East and North Africa
• Central and Latin America

We will only consider applicants who have an offer to study at University of Southampton.

You must:

• have been ordinarily resident in either South East Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Central America or Latin America during the 3 years before the start of the course (ignoring time spent while studying outside your usual country of residence)
• show promise as a future leader by demonstrating business excellence
• have a conditional or unconditional offer to study on the Master of Business Administration (MBA)
• be paying your own fees
• need to pay the overseas tuition fee
• not be getting any external sponsorship

This is a competitive process and not all applicants will be successful.

To compete for the scholarship, applicants must interview and submit a 500-word statement on why they should receive it.

The scholarship will be awarded based on the applicant's statement, their MBA application and their interview. Their business excellence will be assessed using the following criteria:

• a high degree of relevant professional experience in management and/or leadership
• evidence of rapid career progression
• clear ability to contribute to the quality of the MBA cohort
• strong academic ability and performance

The scholarship award is made at the discretion of the Business School. Their decisions are final.
