Launching in September 2026 for applicants in the MBA Class of 2028, the program will provide 13 full-tuition scholarships to outstanding women who demonstrate exceptional academic and leadership potential as well as documented financial need. Each scholarship will fully cover MBA tuition fees, enabling talented women to access one of the world鈥檚 top management education programs regardless of financial constraints.
