Surrey MBA Global Changemaker Scholarship 2025 entry

We are offering two fully funded (tuition-only) MBA scholarships to exceptionally talented changemakers wishing to pursue their careers in impact-driven leadership with a commitment to solving societal problems.

About

Surrey Business School is not only educating business leaders; it is also nurturing the next generation of visionary executives, adaptable entrepreneurs, and impact-driven changemakers.

This exclusive scholarship is awarded as a 100% tuition fee waiver. It is open to self-funded international fee-paying students regardless of nationality or domicile. This scholarship is application-based and awarded by the MBA scholarship awards panel. The panel will assess previous academic performance, work experience, any awards and accolades, including the personal statement to make their decision.

Be an overseas fee-paying student
Hold an offer to study Surrey’s MBA (excludes part-time learning) programme for September 2025 entry

This Scholarship is not open to students from Surrey International Study Centre (SISC)

Applicants in receipt of the Surrey MBA Global Changemaker Scholarship will not be eligible for any other Surrey Scholarships.
