EDHEC Increases Number of Scholarships for 2010 MBA

EDHEC mba students

Overcoming the financial barrier is a challenge for most MBA candidates. While dreams of the golden diploma are high, the harsh reality of having to finance tuition fees and living expenses without a regular income often brings applicants back down to earth. For the 2010 intake, in both January and September, EDHEC has decided to help deserving candidates on their way by increasing the number of scholarships awarded.

EDHEC Business School offers the shortest MBA possible. Its highly intensive 10 month, full time programme is fully accredited AMBA, so candidates can rest assured that while living expenses are more than half those of two-year MBAs, quality remains at the highest standards. Even with this advantage, EDHEC has decided to react to the current crisis and further ease the financial burden of the MBA by increasing the range of scholarships available and encouraging attractive profiles to apply.

promoting the MBA philosophy


EDHEC strives to maintain high standards, diversity and equality in the classroom. The class profile for the EDHEC MBA includes a wide selection of experienced, international candidates. With 8 years of professional experience on average (3 years minimum) 25 different nationalities represented and a wide variety of professional and educational backgrounds.  Several new scholarships have been opened for 2010 to promote the EDHEC MBA philosophy.

Financial aid request form

The selection committee is seeking high potential candidates who have the will to succeed and who are in phase with the EDHEC MBA philosophy, irrespective of their financial resources. If a candidate's application is accepted by the selection committee, he will automatically be awarded one of the scholarships in the list above. Scholarships cannot be accumulated.

EARLY ENROLMENT REDUCTION

To avoid a rush in the peak period, EDHEC's Administration is offering a reduction in total tuition fees due of -5% to all candidates who enroll in the EDHEC MBA before 1st February. This reduction is also valid for conditional offers.

EXTERNAL SCHOLARSHIPS

Country Scholarships
A list of scholarships available per country has been devised by Campus France.

Diverse Background Scholarships
GMAC has also compiled a list of scholarships reserved for candidates of diverse backgrounds.

EXTERNAL FUNDING

Candidates of all nationalities who have been living in France and working for the same company for more than two years are eligible for the FONGECIF. This allows candidates to maintain around 70% of their salary, have a large proportion of their tuition fees waived and the guarantee that their job will be held until the end of their MBA programme.

bank loans

While French banking laws do not allow international students to take out a bank loan, the majority of EDHEC MBA participants fund their MBA studies through a mixture of personal savings and bank loans from their home country. North American candidates will be pleased to know that EDHEC Business School is FAFSA approved.

scholarship pre-evaluation

If you wish to have your profile evaluated for any of the above scholarships, please send your CV and a brief outline of your profile and career plans to the MBA Admissions Manager, Ms Nikki Harle at international.admissions@edhec.edu
