IMD, Switzerland

Masters in Business Administration.

The source does not specify a total number of awards. It states that one person from each deadline is awarded a Diversity Scholarship.

All students.

Each scholarship is worth CHF 30,000. The source lists no other inclusions, so treat the award as a contribution toward the cost of the MBA rather than a full funding package.

To be considered, a candidate must show exceptional qualities throughout the admissions process and must enhance the diversity of the class. There is no separate eligibility list beyond these two conditions.

You do not submit a separate scholarship application. IMD confirms scholarship recipients at the same time it makes the admissions offer, and the scholarship deadline coincides with the admissions deadline.

Check the official website (link below) for the detailed process and for the admissions deadlines that apply to you.

This award suits candidates who are already applying to the IMD MBA and who can show, through the admissions process, that they bring something distinctive to the class. Because the school links the award to class diversity, your application materials should make your background and perspective clear. There is no separate form, so the admissions file is the only place to make your case.
