Scholarships

TIAS School for Business and Society understands the financial commitment of funding an
MBA. Like you, we also know knowledge is power and great education is priceless. This is why
we offer substantial merit scholarships to qualified candidates. TIAS also aims to allocate its
scholarships funds across the class.

How scholarship decisions are made?

When making scholarship decisions, the TIAS admissions board reviews all application
materials submitted by candidates and assesses each candidate's overall qualities: academic
profile, strength of overall admissions application, quality of admissions interview, and
employability.
Like our admissions decisions, all scholarship decisions are made by the admissions board
using a comprehensive approach that takes into account a variety of personal criteria, including
educational achievement; life experiences; personal interests; location of residence; student's
goals and background and GMAT score. Please remember that a high GMAT score does not
guarantee admission, just as a low score doesn't preclude admission. We accept students with
lower GMAT scores if we believe this can be offset by stronger areas in one’s profile. Since we
are such a very diverse school, we are keen to see whether you have worked, lived, studied
abroad, or worked for an international company. So while a solid GMAT score is important, it is
not necessarily a deal breaker.
Apply for only one scholarship

You are strongly encouraged to apply for one scholarship only. Applying for more than one
scholarship rarely contributes to a higher scholarship package. In addition, the admissions
board reviews lots of applications so you would like to have your entire application package as
concise as possible. Please choose a topic that you believe fits best and would provide you the
best chance of being granted a solid scholarship.

Please contact our Program Adviser if you have any questions about applying for a scholarship.
