Women in leadership scholarship: Surrey MBA 2025 entry

At Surrey Business School we believe in breaking down barriers to inspire positive change. We want to support and develop women with the ability and talent to become future leaders.

About

Our Women in Leadership scholarship is open to female candidates who can demonstrate their contribution to business and a drive to support other female candidates in the future. The scholarship is open to candidates joining either the Full-time or Executive MBA course.

This is a partial scholarship that covers 10 – 50% of the tuition fee. They are awarded on a rolling basis. Candidates who apply early in the admissions round may therefore have a greater chance of receiving an award.
