Global MBA Scholarship Policy

Pursuing an MBA is a serious commitment of time and money and the financial barrier proves to be a challenge for most MBA candidates.  This investment needs to be carefully considered by applicants. 

In order to assess the financial obligations required to attend the Global MBA at ESSEC Business School, participants will find detailed information in the Global MBA Fees and Expenses section. We advise to begin considering financing options early on, which can be in the form of savings, loans, or scholarships. Applicants may have access to attractive loan and scholarship opportunities in their countries of origin.

To help participants finance their studies, ESSEC Business School also provides a wide range of possibilities:

  • Global MBA Scholarships
  • Alumni Foundation Loans

Global MBA Scholarships are limited in number and there is significant competition for each award. Scholarships cannot be accumulated. These scholarships are granted under various criteria (merit, nationality, gender, professional background, leadership opportunities).

  • Excellence Scholarships: merit based, taking into account your academic credentials and your GMAT score
  • Diversity Scholarships: based on nationality and/or gender (Support Women Leaders Scholarships)
  • Entrepreneurship Scholarships
  • Leadership in emerging markets scholarships

Alumni Foundation Loans: In exceptional circumstances, the ESSEC Alumni Foundation may provide candidates with a fully reimbursable loan for part of the tuition fees. Means-based only.
