Henley Business School is offering full-time MBA scholarships and bursaries for the academic year 2016-2017 in the field of business administration. There are three types of Henley Grants: full-time MBA scholarships, full-time MBA bursaries and full-time MBA Greenlands trust scholarships cover 100%, 15%-50% and 80% of tuition fees respectively.

The Henley Business School MBA Scholarships and Bursaries

A scholarship is financial support awarded by an academic institution to a student on the basis of academic merit. A key consideration in our selection of Scholarship awards will therefore be the degree to which we believe the candidate will make a significant contribution to the quality of the Henley MBA programme. The Scholarship covers 100% tuition fees.

An MBA bursary provides financial assistance to a student who meets specific eligibility criteria set by the Henley Business School faculty and whose personal circumstances demonstrate the need for financial support. In addition, a limited number of bursaries are made available to students from specific target categories of students who bring diversity to the MBA programme at Henley. A number of awards between 15% and 50% of the programme fees for 2016 are available and are decided based on both the strength of the applicant and their individual circumstances.

Two entrants will be awarded £27,750 (approximately 80% tuition cover) for the Full-time MBA 2016.
