- Have the potential to contribute to and enrich all aspects of the Online MBA

Eligibility
You can only apply for a scholarship once you have received an offer (conditional or unconditional) to join one of the eligible programmes and have either firmly accepted the offer or be intending to do so. The scholarship selection panel can only consider your application if you hold an active offer throughout your scholarship application process (meaning if your offer is declined at any point up until the scholarship decision deadline you will no longer be eligible).
Eligible programmes are:
- Online MBA
You will not be eligible for this scholarship if:
- You are fully sponsored by your employer
- You are in receipt of a full scholarship
If the applicant is successful in being awarded a scholarship, but subsequently declines their offer of admission to the Online MBA, the scholarship will be withdrawn and awarded to another applicant. An award will be withdrawn if a student fails to meet the conditions set by the University.
Conditions
- The scholarship will be deducted from tuition fees.
- Successful applicants for the Online MBA Diversity Scholarship enrolled on the programme will have the amount of the scholarship award allocated towards the first year of fees.
- Scholarships will have to be accepted within a certain timeframe in order to secure your position on the Online MBA programme and also to secure the scholarship funding.
- If you do not accept and pay the required online MBA programme deposit within the given timeframe then you will forfeit your scholarship offer. The Business School will then re-allocate this scholarship.
- If you are in receipt of any other University of Edinburgh scholarship(s) then the maximum that will be covered between all the scholarships awarded will be the full fees.
- Scholarships are not transferable and not deferrable. They are valid only for use by the scholarship awardee for the entry date specified as part of their application in the given academic year (such as January 2023).
- If you receive a scholarship, you will be expected to participate occasionally as an ambassador for the Business School during and after your programme.
- Scholarship decisions are at the discretion of the School and all decisions are final.
- If you withdraw at any point during the teaching term, scholarship payments which have already been made will be reclaimed on a pro-rata basis. Under exceptional circumstances, this decision can be reviewed by the Director of Professional Services.
