How to apply
To gain a place on the Sussex MBA programme applicants have to apply via the usual MBA application process.
Applicants then have to first pass the general MBA interview. During the interview - and also in the written application process - applicants should mention their interest in this scholarship. Applicants that are shortlisted for this scholarship will then have a further Skype interview with at least two Sussex staff/faculty
Funding partners
This scholarship can be combined with other Sussex scholarships and can be paid either towards tuition fees or as a combination of tuition fees and a stipend. Overseas applicants can also apply for consideration for a Chancellors International Scholarship (worth 50% of tuition fees) which would make the combined scholarship a full fee waiver plus a £3,388 stipend. This scholarship has a separate, extremely competitive application process.
A decision on this scholarship will be made at the beginning of June 2019. The business school reserves the right to defer the scholarship until a suitably qualified scholar has been selected.
