Entrepreneurship MBA scholarships
EMERGING LEADERS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME (ELSP)
GIBS is pleased to announce that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (Danida) intends to offer five scholarships for exceptional individuals enrolled for the 2011/12 full-time Entrepreneurship MBA.
Denmark sees the private sector as a prime driver of job creation and income generation. Emerging business leaders and entrepreneurs need international business skills and networks to compete in the global marketplace, but often cannot afford the full cost of a Masters programme. The ELSP will assist successful applicants to overcome this barrier.
The ELSP covers 90% of the total cost of completing the full-time Entrepreneurship MBA at GIBS. This normally includes tuition, travel, residence, living expenses and insurance for the duration of the programme. ELSP applicants wll be required to cover the remaining 10% from their own resources.
ELSP applicants must be emerging business leaders under 45 years of age and hail from one of Danida's programme partners countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mali , Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. Women from sub-Saharan African countries are particularly encouraged to apply.
Prospective scholarship applicants are required to fulfil the admission requirements for entrance to the full-time Entrepreneurship MBA programme as well as the selection criteria of the ELSP. All applicants must be accepted to the full-time Entrepreneurship MBA programme before an ELSP scholarship award can be made.
Five candidates will be short listed from applications received. The final decision on awarding the scholarships will be made by Danida.
In order to be considered for the above scholarships, your online application for the full-time Entrepreneurship MBA must reach GIBS by no later than 16 May 2011.
