MBA Scholarships
The St.Gallen MBA is able to award a number of scholarships for outstanding applications.

In order to be considered for a scholarship by the admissions committee you must nominate the scholarship that you are applying for in your application and include an additional essay that will be considered by the Committee when judging the scholarships. Successful applicants will be notified of their scholarship award following notification of their admissions offer.

In addition to the following criteria, scholarships are typically awarded to candidates with strong employment credentials, good leadership experience/potential and who perform well during their interview. While there is no fixed format for the scholarship essay, you should consider including: how you feel you are suited to the relevant scholarship; what unique skills/perspective you would bring to the MBA class; how you stand out in your work and personal life.

Please note: Applications must be submitted online together with the regular MBA application form. Applicants will be considered for one scholarship category only. All decisions are made at the discretion of the Admissions and Scholarship Committee.
